The best blog on bioethics (I am modest to report) is by our Discovery Institute colleague, Wesley J. Smith. Many of his posts tell of the cruel raids the Modern Vikings are making on civilization in such areas as embryonic stem cell research or (Yoiks!) the manufacture of artificial sperm. But occasionally, the forces of ordered morality gather together on the coasts and headlands and take a stand. How encouraging, therefore (note the July 7 post), to see the British House of Lords arise in its ermine robes to repel the barbarians on the issue of assisted suicide.
