Consider the obvious implications if rights attain the moment the egg and sperm meet: all kinds of embryo research become questionable, starting with the stem-cell research McCain says he favors. Couples who undergo in vitro fertilization and then choose not to implant all the embryos are surely violating the rights of those that are discarded or frozen. Some forms of contraception, such as IUDs and the morning-after pill, would presumably be illegal if they affect the ability of an egg to implant. Abortion opponents contend that the birth control pill itself, while designed to prevent ovulation...
...Saddleback. Despite an unwavering record of opposition to abortion, the Arizona Senator has at times worried religious conservatives by suggesting he would consider a pro-choice running mate - most recently this week while discussing former Pennsylvania governor Tom Ridge. Those comments, combined with McCain's support for stem-cell research, explain the relatively low levels of enthusiasm among Evangelicals for his candidacy. Evangelicals have also been waiting for McCain to speak personally about his own faith.

The young men and women - many of whom are aspiring models and film stars (the Bollywood studios are not far from here) - are crowding in with their cell phones and laptops, and the place looks as busy as ever...
Running at two minutes per "episode" until Aug. 29 (for a total running time of about 50 minutes), N. is accessible through its website (nishere.com), available for purchase at iTunes and Amazon, and even downloadable to cell phones - ironic, given that in King's recent novel Cell, the mobile-phone network became a conduit for a global pandemic. The experiment is an example of the kind of outside-the-box thinking that publishers have had to engage in to try to reverse a steep decline in readers...
...referred to as "motion comics." Warner Bros. (which is owned by Time Warner, TIME's parent company) has released a Batman-related Web series and a motion-comic adaptation of the acclaimed graphic novel Watchmen. Yet N. has been specifically constructed to appeal to the short attention spans of cell phone and Web users. Images are drawn and inked by Marvel Comics artists with voiceover talent provided by Simon and Schuster Audio. The result is a kind of animated audiobook - and a big advertisement for the upcoming story collection, with a prominent link to pre-order the book...
