Clinical and medical topics

Biology and related

  • Talk:Transhumanism Should the article include a description of the most thorough reference of proposed transhumanist genetic alterations to correct human flaws, and guidelines for prevention of abuse of genetic alterations, and species names, research, and implementation (called The Catalog Of Correctable Omnipresent Human Flaws), or should it be forbidden from inclusion, as Loremaster, Metamagician, and StN want? 01:14, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Abortion

  • Talk:Abortion/First_paragraph - There appears to be a conflict between content based on reliable sources vs. content that survives a contentious bipartisan debate that may or may not have sources. The result has been a lot of reversion, endless arguments over the definitions of basic terms, and allegations of sectional biases. More sources and neutral, outsider commentary welecome. 05:36, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Computer wallpaper—User:0waldo tries very hard to put himself in wikipedia. He keeps adding a poor image that he created to Computer wallpaper. He's behaving completely unnegotiably, and even uses a sockpuppet. Most of his edits are vanity.—Snargle 03:57, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
