What is happening? What has happened? Am I missing something? Seeing nothing in the news, I go to her website, Life for Lauren updates
and find no updates!

Have all the good people gone limp in our arms? Has something happened that is not reported? I for one am greatly disturbed about the lack of news we receive on the status of Lauren Richardson at the mercy of those who would kill her. Each day we check, and each day is blank, as if the media happily turned a blind eye so their allies on the death circuit can work their craft in peace. Somebody please show me I am wrong. I would be glad to be wrong.

There is no news, I might suppose, because a sort-of cease fire exists, the frail hopes of her supporters that maybe the law and justice will sometimes be on their side if all is quiet. We need look no further than the Israel-Palestine conflict to realize cease fire is the opportunity of the adversary to work quietly in the background undisturbed, while those hoping for the best sit by to be outflanked. It is a normal tendency for people of good will to ascribe the same emotions of decency to an adversary that has none. The adversary snickers at this foolish notion and carries on. We see it in the Middle East on large scale and we see it on an individual basis whenever we confront those who would have us killed.

Silence on Lauren's status works only to the advantage of those who would kill her and just doesn't work for people of good will. Evil minds don't think the same. They respond to force only, and must be driven from their prey. Anything less they treat with contempt as weakness.

I do hope our people of good will who would rescue Lauren will shout out the injustice and drive the jackals from their prey. That is an easy one to picture, approaching a pack of jackals about to feast on a wounded young antelope, and "hoping" they will respond with the same compassion we have, and just go away.

A deeper look into eugenics in a thread by wagglebee...

Kevles began the lecture by reflecting on the massive leaps scientists have made in the name of biology and genetic research. Given the success of the human genome project, where scientists map each gene in the human DNA strand, and the booming biotech industry, he predicted that eugenics could re-emerge as a possibility, and commenced a review of how eugenics emerged in American society in the early 1900s, and the human rights violations that came with it.

"Eugenics was not unique to the Nazis," he said. "It could and did happen virtually everywhere."

The surprising thing about the movement, according to Kevles, was how strongly it was picked up by the scientific community of the time. It was supported by many prominent doctors, psychologists and biologists of the period, many of whom found a home in Connecticut......
