I had to have a few tries at reading this blog to review it. Why? Because it’s so information dense. News blogs like these usually take a few readings from me before I feel I can write about them.
Initial impressions? Bioethics in relations to the female. This got me thinking that it would be quite a resourceful blog for those that are interested in bioethics. Me on the other hand, had a bit of trouble reading through the various entries and links in regards to topics.
There are various entries to this blog that raise eyebrows; the one that really got my attention was the “answer to welfare is marriage” entry. Most of these things I had no idea about, mostly because I do find the reading of such issues hard going, and partly because I’m removed from it, living in Australia means that things like this do not affect me personally.
The posts on the blog do correspond to the links to various news blogs & magazines, like the American Bioethics Journal, New York Times, National Public Radio (NPR), New Yorker and even to the British Journal of Psychology.
I believe that there is only one author on this blog, but I’m not sure as there isn’t an about section for the blog or anything relating to who writes it. Although the author does seem to be able to find different things to write about so that most topics covered will appeal to different audiences.
The target of this blog I believe is to educate women on the ethical issues surrounding various aspects of our lives. I believe that the author is trying to appeal to a vast audience with the varying topics covered. The links & news items all are well thought out and written. The blog is hard reading at times, but I found some interesting and worthwhile things to read about, after I’d gotten through all the posts that I felt were hard reading. I would say that going to this blog for all bioethical women matters would be more beneficial than going to yahoo and doing a search as the author has carefully chosen the topics and I believe has kept it focused on the issues that are current and quite relevant with the links to various other news sites for further reading.NULL
