	President Bush's Bioethics Council Releases Assisted Fertility Report
		The Council is urging Congress to enact proposals to monitor the safety of reproductive technology for children and mothers.
		"The Council's Report reveals that reproductive technology is ‘relatively unmonitored and unregulated in the U.S.’ and that virtually nothing is being done to monitor the long-term health of children born from reproductive technology or the health of their mothers," said Clarke Forsythe.
		The Council is also urging Congress to ban attempts at human conception "by any means other than the union of egg and sperm," which is, in essence, a call to ban reproductive cloning.

	The Ayn Rand Institute: Council on Bioethics Antagonistic to Man's Well-Being
		The President's Council on Bioethics holds a viewpoint that conflicts with man's well-being.
		Professing to uphold man's well-being, the council on April 1 called for regulating the techniques and research leading to test-tube babies, including a prohibition on attempts to conceive a child by any means other than the "union of egg and sperm." But its professed goal is belied by the council's moral viewpoint.
		Expect the council, therefore, to call for more regulations not only on conceiving test-tube babies, but on advances in biotech that would enable man to extend his lifespan and overcome his physical limitations.

		The council, they assert, is driven by conservative ideology and has rushed to alarmist conclusions about the social and human ramifications of medical research in areas like memory, aging, and embryo cloning.
		Others argue that the council has ignored prosaic topics, such as access to medical care, that are more relevant to the nation today than some of the exotic technologies it has explored, like human-animal hybrid embryos.
		Even though the council's ideas and membership have spurred enough controversy in the last two years to place it at one of the most-contentious, high-profile intersections of academe and federal policy, its impact remains unclear.

		The council will be navigating a scientific and ethical landscape significantly more complex than the one that existed when the House became embroiled in the topic last summer.
		At the same time, the United States was fighting a war to free a faraway nation from the grip of religious conservatives who were denounced for imposing their moral code on others.
