Metaphyseal acroscyphodysplasia
Clinical Genetics, 1991Based on two independent personal cases and a pair of sibs from the literature, we delineate a new category of bone dysplasia with cup‐shaped large metaphyses, for which the name metaphyseal acroscyphodysplasia is suggested. The main clinical features are severe growth retardation, micromelia predominating in the lower limbs, knee flexion, and severe ...

Hastings Center Report, 2013
AbstractThe scenario could not have been more grim. Mrs. Carr had been fitted with a breathing tube for surgery, but the doctors were unable to wean her from the ventilator due to recurrent episodes of life‐threatening infection. She could not eat because of the ventilator, so she received nutrition through a tube in her stomach.

Environment and Planning A: Economy and Space, 2004
The following thought piece addresses the issue ‘what next’ by considering the effects of poststructural thought on the field. Specifically, I argue that poststructuralism has emerged in the field as a problem that a number of geographers have endeavoured to solve by devising new theoretical frameworks and innovative methodological principles, the ...

Journal of Molecular Biology, 2002
Recently, the famous physicist Steven Hawkins, author of the best-seller “A brief history of time”, made a rather provocative proposal about the human genome. He called for an extensive program of genetic modification of humans in order for mankind to remain competitive in the race with machines and computers.

A Physics-Based Metaphysics is a Metaphysics-Based Metaphysics
Acta Analytica, 2013The common practice of advancing arguments based on current physics in support of metaphysical conclusions has been criticized on the grounds that current physics may well be wrong. A further criticism is leveled here: current physics itself depends on metaphysical assumptions, so arguing from current physics is in fact arguing from yet more ...

Metaphysical Vagueness and Metaphysical Indeterminacy
Metaphysica, 2013The topic of this paper is whether there is metaphysical vagueness. It is shown that it is important to distinguish between the general phenomenon of indeterminacy and the more narrow phenomenon of vagueness (the phenomenon that paradigmatically rears its head in sorites reasoning).

The Metaphysics and Metaphysics Zeta
2019The Metaphysics is a collection of works that were written on other occasions and collected by an editor into a single volume. Still, most of what is in it share a common theme—the science of being. After explaining how such a science is possible and how it turns out to be the science of substance, the chapter points out that Zeta is meant to ...
