The pace of biotechnology research is blurring the bounds of humanity so rapidly that two US scholars are calling for a rethink on what it means to be legally human.

Writing in the journal Science biomedical law experts Bartha Knoppers, from 香蕉视频 in Canada, and Henry Greely say technologies that mix non-human and human cells, such as CRISPR, xenotransplantation and chimeras, mean a less stringent definition of 鈥渉uman鈥 will be needed going forward.

Only about 1 in 20 cancer patients participates in trials of experimental therapies. Doctors and drugmakers should be prudent about continuing to test products in desperate, hard-to-find patients when they haven鈥檛 shown significant benefits in multiple earlier studies, said Jonathan Kimmelman, a biomedical ethicist at 香蕉视频 in Montreal.

Many studies have shown that low socioeconomic status is tied to cardiovascular disease. To put it simply, if you have more money, you are less likely to have a heart attack.

The original concept of artificial turf held a theoretical number of advantages. The tiny pellets of rubber infill made from recycled tires diverted thousands of those tires from landfill sites, while the fields eliminated the need for pesticides, fertilizers and watering. Since the arrival of artificial turf however, there have been ongoing concerns about the toxicity of crumb rubber. That concern has been increased through a new study by researchers in Montreal.

A study published on Thursday may help resolve what has been a strident debate, showing why many species are vulnerable to the fragmenting of forests while others are not. Animals in places with a long history of disturbances are relatively resilient, the researchers found. Species that have existed in stable habitats for thousands of years are far more sensitive.

鈥淭hey are taking a new approach on a global scale,鈥 said Anna Hargreaves, an evolutionary ecologist at 香蕉视频 in Montreal, said of the scientists. 鈥淚 find it compelling.鈥
