House Democrats may demand ethics probe of Souder over affair

The Souder scandal comes as Democratic leaders are under investigation by the House ethics panel for their handling of the case of Eric Massa, a New York Democrat who was driven from office after several male staffers accused him of sexual harassment. "We feel like we did the right thing [in the Massa case] but we're still being investigated," said one senior House Democratic aide, who requested anonymity to discuss internal deliberations. "We don't want to do a tit-for-tat. But the question is: What did Republicans know?"

Is walking away from your mortgage immoral if you can afford it?

More people are walking away from their homes not because they can't make the mortgage payments, but because they no longer want to. They decide it's not in their best financial interest to write checks for a home when they owe far more than it's worth. But is it the moral thing to do?

Group to censure physicians who play role in lethal injections

Should We Clone Neanderthals?

Neanderthals1
Newly developed techniques could make cloning Neanderthal cells or body parts a reality within a few years. The ability to use the genes of extinct hominins is going to force the field of paleoanthropology into some unfamiliar ethical territory. There are still technical obstacles, but soon it could be possible to use that long-extinct genome to safely create a healthy, living Neanderthal clone. Should it be done?

'Hurt Locker' producer emails Academy judges, solicits their vote

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is considering action against a producer of "The Hurt Locker" who sent multiple e-mails urging academy members to vote for his movie in the Oscar best-picture race and "not a $500 million film" — an obvious reference to close-competitor "Avatar."

Vancouver Olympics Luge Accident Forces Change to Course - TIME

"Fear and Loathing" is Time, Inc's headline. Can you believe that they used Saint Hunter S.'s name in vain this way!!?? Not to mention their abuse of the poor athlete, as though he knew what he was getting in to. This crosses the line.
