Serbia's largest news site (heavily trafficked according to Alexa) picking up the ectogenesis story. I'm in it saying something, hopefully good.

So this came out yesterday on the world's most popular pro-life site. They don't even link to my Wired UK article, and there are blatant misrepresentations of their coverage of it.

So this came out yesterday on the world's most popular pro-life site. They don't even link to my Wired UK article, and there are blatant misrepresentations of their coverage of it. Poor, poor journalism. But what's scary is how popular it is. With 750 facebook shares in a little more than a day, their article may end up reaching more people than the Wired UK article. This is why much of the conservative and religious media cannot be counted on: http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/tran...

Wesley J. Smith, a friend of mine and critic of transhumanism has penned an interesting National Review article that I disagree with, but find interesting anyway. It touches on my Wired UK article.

I want to thank Wired UK for publishing this, even though it's controversial. I hope it adds to the discussion of an important topic in the coming transhumanist era

I'm featured in the Daily Mail science section today talking ectogenesis. It's the UK's 2nd largest paper with nearly a 2 million person reach.
