Open to DebateShould We Use Gene Editing to Make Better Babies?A genetic disease runs in your family. Your doctor tells you that, should you wish to have a child, that child is likely to also carry the disease. But a new gene-editing technology could change your fate. It could ensure that your baby is -- and remains -- healthy. What do you do? It’s is not without its perils. Critics say the technology will exacerbate inequality, pressure all parents (and nations) into editing their children to stay competitive, and meddle with the most basic aspect of our humanity.

Thinking Out Loud with Sheldon MacLeodAn argument against vaccine passportsThe majority of people who are fully immunized are likely to tell you their vaccination status. But for those who can't or won't take the shot, it's a different story. The promise to look into a Vaccine Passport by Liberal leader Iain Rankin has moved the topic from public health into the political world. And for Bioethisist and Dalhousie Professor Francoise Baylis, there are compelling reasons to have tough conversations before moving ahead with this plan.2021-08-1014 min

That return is predicated on, among other things, mass Covid-19 vaccination efforts that continue along slow and steady.
As more of us get the jab, states, including Canada, are considering vaccine certification programs for domestic use, foreign travel, or both. But concerned individuals, including health, privacy, and social science experts, are raising a number of concerns with the idea.

Needs No IntroductionSexualized violence on our campusesWhen posts in a Facebook group joking about having "hate-sex" and chloroforming women were made public, the anonymous members of "Class of DDS 2015 Gentlemen" were instantly infamous. As calls for a response from Dalhousie grew, however, the university equivocated, mired in a controversy for which it seemed to have no response. As of January 12, the 13 students, though suspended from clinical duties, will return to study in courses taught separately from their classmates. In a year rife with well-publicized cases of misogyny -- including a frosh week "rape chant" at another Halifax university -- it was clear that even...2015-01-131h 09
