		<description><![CDATA[The popularity of in-vitro fertilization and other procedures that require the creation of multiple embryos has resulted in an excess of frozen embryos, as many as 500,000.

Ethical, moral and religious aspects of the catastrophe are playing a critical role in the debate. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The ethics of fertility treatments are struggling to keep up with rapid-fire advances in biotechnology. The case of Nadya Suleman, the &#8220;Octomom&#8221; who gave birth to octuplets in January 2009 through reproductive technology, is just an extreme example of the ethical dilemmas that parents, medical professionals and religious leaders are facing.

		<description><![CDATA[The debate over torture is heating up on two fronts: politics and popular culture. The airline bombing attempt on Christmas Day brought renewed calls to use torture on terror suspects, and the Jan. 17 premiere of the new season of &#8220;24&#8243; again thrusts that drama&#8217;s frequent depictions of torture into the mix. The attempted terror [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Is torture ever justified? The answer is clear to American believers &#8211; but for some that answer is clearly &#8220;yes,&#8221; for others it is definitely &#8220;no.&#8221; And that stark moral divide is shaping a debate that is growing more intense even years after the first revelations of prisoner abuse. The arguments are fueled in part [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Thirty-five years after abortion became legal in the U.S., the perennial hot-button issue is shifting in subtle and not-so-subtle ways. The nation’s abortion rate has fallen to its lowest level since 1974. The procedures that are performed are done, increasingly, at an earlier stage of pregnancy than in the past. Hollywood is releasing “life-affirming” films [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Religion and adoption are both, at core, about identity. And increasingly, religious issues are complicating adoption. That&#8217;s because of the increase in international and interfaith adoptions, in adoptions between races, and in adoptions by singles and gay couples. At the same time, a significant proportion of adoption agencies are faith-based, which has led to conflicts [...]]]></description>
