		<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 growing range of ethical dilemmas that parents, medical professionals and religious leaders are facing.

		<description><![CDATA[After organized worship, athletic competition is perhaps the oldest communal impulse known to mankind, and today sports and religion mirror each other as never before, experts say. Nowhere will that be more evident than on Super Bowl Sunday on Feb. 7 and during the Winter Olympics that run from Feb. 12-28.

		<description><![CDATA[As President Barack Obama delivered his first State of the Union address on Jan. 27, 2010, religious groups that support health care reform were pressing the White House and Congress to continue to try to pass a comprehensive overhaul. Prospects for that dimmed considerably with the Republican victory in Massachusetts&#8217; Senate election Jan. 19.

		<description><![CDATA[Religious differences are increasingly complicating child custody cases and are fueling a growing number of news stories. A generation ago, mothers almost always were granted custody and deemed responsible for most aspects of a child&#8217;s upbringing. Today these responsibilities are split more evenly between parents, and religion increasingly is a flash point.

But this year there are a number of developments driving the abortion debate in new directions.

		<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.

A story in The New York Times looked at a prominent legal group&#8217;s decision to end its support for capital punishment. And the annual survey from the Death Penalty Information Center presented a mixed picture.

		<description><![CDATA[Elvis Presley&#8217;s 75th birthday is Jan. 8 and is evoking the kind of devotion often associated with &#8220;the King&#8221; &#8212; as well as with the &#8220;King of Pop,&#8221; Michael Jackson, whose death last year was accompanied by an almost worshipful outpouring. What explains this widespread cult of celebrity? Is it a religious phenomenon?

Now the movement has expanded, as other religions have embraced faith-based fitness programs.
