POPSShe needs help She says : If you do turn out to be my match, all I will need is some of the stem cells of your blood to be transferred to my body. This still doesn't require surgery, only a little bit of your blood. These past few months of hardship have caused me to reach the end of my rope. I am unsure how much longer I have to live. But what I do know is that the one thing that can save my life is a matching donor. And with someone like you, I am unwilling to lose hope! I desperately need your help and kind support in finding my match.

POPSSeed behemoth Monsanto stumbles into antitrust trouble (2) The Monsanto strategy of industry domination has worked brilliantly. It must be irritating to be so reviled for such success. Can the money really make up for the notoriety? It must also be a drag trying to pretend that GM is the answer to world food shortages, when independent studies indicate that the technology does not even increase yield after the first couple of years. By then the farmers are dependent. It's the classic drug-pusher marketing technique which is why it is so successful and so damaging.

POPSMonkey to be sent to Mars Obscene, chilling, cruel, insane, immoral ... The question is not whether animals (or humans) have rights. It is by what right do humans carry out such horrors on the innocent? The answer is by their Might only. Which is against all ethical behaviour which by definition starts with Might is NOT right. If it was, every evil is permissible. As, indeed, it seems to be these days ...

POPSSelling a low-carbon life just got harder "Everything to play for". Well, people need a bit of coherence in order to understand. For example, the consequences of a "healthy" economic recovery will certainly be another sharp increase in CO2 emissions. What should we do? That would be the start of some coherent, non-hypocritical policy making. Start by asking real open questions, and do not think you know the answers in advance. Then use some natural intelligence to look for other pertinent questions before entering into an open inquiry.

POPSAbortion Legalized In Spain Abortion was nevertheless widely available because women can assert mental distress as the sole ground for accessing the procedure, regardless of the progress of the pregnancy. More than 100,000 abortions are conducted in Spain each year, and most of them are early-term procedures that fell under the mental distress category. This bill, however, is important, because it erases the threat of jail time and declares abortion to be a woman's right. This is important, because in the past there have been serious consequences for women, doctors and clinics.

POPSEarth On Track For Epic Die-Off, Scientists Say "If we redouble our conservation efforts, we can stem the tide of extinctions and have those species around in the future," Barnosky said. "There is a bit of urgency here. By demonstrating that we have already lost 15 to 42 percent of mammalian diversity, the question is, do we really want to lose any more? I think the answer to that is pretty obvious."

POPSThe Dangers of Going to a Fortune The manghuhula or fortune teller is often a desperate person's last recourse. Anxious to find out how a pressing problem would be resolved, many choose to go to someone who can use tarot cards, palmistry, a crystal ball or other means to look into the future. Such things have become almost part of our culture that we are quick to dismiss the thought that there's anything wrong with using these tools to find out what lies ahead... especially since the vast majority who go to a fortune teller only go out of curiousity, or laro-laro lang. But is fortune telling really as harmless as it seems?
