Claims by the Times newspaper (and the BBC) that allowing GM embryos will ‘give a massive boost to IVF success rates’ are pure spin aimed at seducing regulators into giving a green light for highly controversial research.

Student bursaries for nurses and midwives: should they be scrapped?
Protests and petitions about the government’s proposal to scrap bursaries for student nurses and midwives from 2017 should surprise no one.
