This ad pretty much ensures I will never own a dog again
Posted by Tom Megginson | 12-07-2011 15:30 | Category: Animal rights Don’t get me wrong. It’s funny, and it’s quite well acted and produced. But I’ve had too many “interesting” friends to enjoy the thought of a dog as, in AdFreak’s words, “a chubby, filthy, sociopathic man-dog.”
GPS bracelet uses social media to protect Civil Rights Activists
The Civil Rights Defenders have issued their first batch of GPS bracelets that will alert the CRDs' headquarters, other nearby activists, and the entirety of the CRDs' social media following if the bracelet's owner is ever kidnapped. The first 5 bracelets were issued from April 2nd through April 5th during the Civil Rights Defenders' conference, Defenders' Days. The CRD plans on issuing 55 of these bracelets over the next year and a half. The bracelets are described as a personal alarm, and the product is called the "Natalia Project".

Erica Berman: Should Your Test Tube Baby Know Its Biological Parents?
Despite significant advances in assisted reproductive technologies (ART), if a woman has poor egg quality, either due to age, genetics or other factors, she is unlikely to conceive using her own eggs. So as barriers to adoption increase, egg donation is becoming a more popular option for couples who are unable to use their own eggs. Unfortunately, because there is little public knowledge about egg donation, and because it is illegal to pay for eggs in Canada, it is often difficult for a woman to find a donor. On occasion, a woman will have a close friend or relative who is an appropriate candidate, but if this is not the case, often the intended parents are forced to search for an altruistic donor through various media such as Craigslist or local newspapers. Obviously this is not ideal, and many couples are not comfortable with this option. There is also growing evidence that most egg donors are willing to have their identity disclosed to indented parents and their offspring.

Information and communication technologies for development
Information and Communication Technologies for Development (ICT4D) refers to the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in the fields of socioeconomic development, international development and human rights. The theory behind this is that more and better information and communication furthers the development of a society. Aside from its reliance on technology, ICT4D also requires an understanding of community development, poverty, agriculture, healthcare, and basic education.
