“vitualis’ Medical Rants” is a “blog” dedicated to a mix of biomedicine, technology, international politics, law and justice and a pinch of bioethics.
In the first half of 2006, the H5N1 avian influenza virus continues its slow march across the globe like a mythological harbinger of death. Medical science is shaken by the relevation that the groundbreaking work in human cloning by South Korean researchers is fake. International condemnation of the Guantanamo Bay camp and atrocities in the Iraqi War dominate U.S. relations with its Western allies. In the Middle East, Palestinian-Israeli relations destabilise with the death of Ariel Sharon.
Volume 3 presents a snapshot of the volatile world that was the beginning of the sixth year of the 21st Century.
Great for some light, and not-so-light reading about many new and interesting developments between January and June 2006. A full preview PDF version is available for download. This is the hardcover first edition of this book....More >< Less
