Embryo gene editing: How safe and ethical is the practice? | Podcast - Euronews.com

This technology taps into the genetic material in the fertilized egg and resulting embryonic cells as a recording device of the cells' histories. It tracks their relationships as the embryo develops. Scientists have succeeded in reconstructing the family tree of cells in a developing mouse embryo. They recorded cells’ relationships, starting when the fertilized egg first split in two and ending after the body with organs took shape. That period lasted 13.5 days. (Full gestation in mice is 19 to 21 days.)

There are so many ethical dilemmas in high school sports that earning a teaching credential or gaining life experiences from participating in sports won’t always provide a clear path on how to proceed. And when you bring in rules and regulations set forth by the California Interscholastic Federation, the state’s governing body for high school sports, everyone has an opinion or complaint — especially when there is a perception of inconsistency in how punishment for a rule violation is assessed. It really comes down to how coaches hold themselves accountable and what a principal believes in supporting. For example, some principals have dismissed coaches for using profanity. Others do nothing. Here are some of the ethical questions administrators, coaches, parents and players now face:If cheating is wrong, how come so many cheat? Should a player who transfers and has superior talent immediately get to start over a player who has been in the program for three years busting his butt? How do you figure out when it’s OK to share playing time at quarterback if you have two good players or even three? When is it OK for a parent to ask about their son‘s or daughter’s playing time, if ever?

Continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) could transform diabetes management for millions of Americans with type 2 diabetes who don't take insulin, according to findings published in the New England Journal of Medicine. The clinical trial found that adults using CGMs spent approximately five additional hours each day within their target blood sugar range compared with those receiving routine care. Nearly twice as many CGM users also achieved an A1c level below 7%, a common treatment goal for people with diabetes.

Patients who wore noise-canceling headphones during minimally invasive gynecological surgery were significantly less likely to experience postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), suggest findings from a randomized clinical trial presented at the Anesthesiology 2026 annual meeting.
