There's a fresh push to edit the genes of human embryos to prevent diseases and enhance characteristics that parents value. Bioethicists say just because it's possible doesn't mean it should be done.

I admire Mo Salah's restraint.
"Farewell". Really?
Suleiman al-Obeid was killed by the IDF as he was queuing for food in Gaza. Say it, you cowards.

Wow, this is so powerful. Mandy Patinkin is outstanding. Watch till the end.
Listen to the outrage, despair, and yes, fear, in his voice.
That is the sound of a person with a conscience. All our voices should sound like this!

Great scoop for The Atlantic and @JeffreyGoldberg … not so great for American war planning … “the Trump administration planned its strikes on the Houthis using a group chat—and accidentally included The Atlantic’s editor in chief, @JeffreyGoldberg.”

Perhaps the first philosophy department to be flagging the issue of menopause? Menopause raises many ethical issues concerning, for example, inequality, discrimination, sexism, ageism and, not least, women’s health and wellbeing. Good to see that Philosophy in Galway is part of the conversation.

Trump on paper straws:
"These things don't work, I've had them many times, and on occasion, they break, they explode. If something's hot, they don't last very long, like a matter of minutes, sometimes a matter of seconds. It's a ridiculous situation,"
Stupefyingly absurd.
