Are there differences in rights among animals? Is there a standard that distinguishes humans from other animals? And should we all become vegetarians for the sake of animal rights? In this issue's cover story, we explore the issue of animal rights alongside animal ethicist Peter Singer's new book, \"The New Animal Liberation,\" soon to be published in Korea.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e First, ethicist Seonghan Yoon asks, \"Do animals have the same rights as humans?\" and examines whether the boundary dividing humans and animals is logically valid.\u003cbr\u003e Next, philosopher Choi Hoon examines whether vegetarianism is the only way to protect animal rights from an animal rights perspective and asks about the possibility of ethical meat-eating. \u003cbr\u003eNext, environmental journalist Nam Jong-young criticizes the dilemma of the human-centered discussion of animal rights and examines how far animal rights can be expanded.\u003cbr\u003e Finally, in his new book, The New Animal Liberation, ethicist Peter Singer explores whether the arguments in his 1975 book are still relevant in 2024.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e▼ Focus: What Science Tells Us About Health\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e We live in an age of health information overload. Health programs on TV and the internet abound with promises of a 100-year lifespan. Numerous health products, including vitamins, supplements, and antioxidants, tempt us with promises of a healthy future.\u003cbr\u003e Moreover, recent remarkable advances in scientific understanding of health seem to suggest that humanity may soon achieve longevity, or even eternal life.\u003cbr\u003e But the more noisy the situation, the more fakes tend to run rampant. \u003cbr\u003eAs Dr. Kang Byung-chul puts it, \"In this era of extreme commercialization, isn't the key to protecting your precious money, time, and health through a minimum level of scientific knowledge?\" In this issue's Focus, we examine the basic science needed to protect your health without being swayed by misinformation, as well as the tricks of pseudo-medical practices that mislead patients.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e As biologist Dobzhansky said, “Without the light of evolution, biology can explain nothing,” medicine and health can also gain new insights when viewed through the lens of evolution.\u003cbr\u003e Internist William Mellor shares fascinating insights from an evolutionary perspective, including why we struggle so much with our bodies and cavities, what constitutes a healthy diet, and why we should be cautious about taking supplements. \u003cbr\u003ePediatrician Dr. Kang Byeong-cheol also shares the basic science we need to know about immunity and criticizes the mistakes made by nutritional supplements that claim to \"boost immunity.\"\u003cbr\u003e Next, Dr. Michael Greger, MD, synthesizes the latest gut microbiome research to tell the story of the latest science, while John Summers, the father of a son with autism, shares his experience of how pseudo-medicine delves into the hearts of patients and their families.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eHow Painkillers Became a Tragedy\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Opioids, including fentanyl, are tormenting people like an epidemic.\u003cbr\u003e In 2021, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released shocking statistics showing that the number of Americans who died from opioid overdoses had surpassed 1 million since records began in 1999. \u003cbr\u003eHow did a painkiller that once saved patients writhing in pain become a tragedy? Journalist Gerald Posner traces how \"pain\" became a new vital sign in medicine, and how Big Pharma's pain marketing and government lax regulation transformed medical painkillers into state-sanctioned narcotics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e▼ The Abortion Debate, One Year Later\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The abortion debate has become a public debate since the bombshell ruling overturning Roe v. Wade in June 2022.\u003cbr\u003e It's been a year since the fierce debate between those divided into pro- and anti-abortion camps.\u003cbr\u003e Where is the abortion debate headed? Kevin McCaffrey, a sociologist at the Skeptic Research Center, surveyed 3,014 American adults to assess their knowledge of abortion. \u003cbr\u003eInterestingly, people were less informed about the objective data of the actual abortion debate, and especially the more partisan the debate, the less informed they were about each other and their own circumstances.\u003cbr\u003e For example, Republican supporters in the United States believed that more than half of Republicans would want to completely ban abortion, but only 15 percent actually held that position.\u003cbr\u003e McCaffrey discusses what data-driven approaches are needed to make the abortion debate more constructive.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e▼ The 'Bone' War: Whose Remains Should Be?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e On March 5, 2023, NBC News, in collaboration with ProPublica, a nonprofit investigative journalism outlet that investigates abuses of power, published a critical article about Tim White, a legendary paleoanthropologist who is currently a professor emeritus at the University of California, Berkeley. \u003cbr\u003eThe article criticized Tim White for using Native American bones and teeth as a teaching skeletal collection and for not properly preserving the remains.\u003cbr\u003e Elizabeth Weiss, an anthropology professor at San Jose State University, reviews this critical article and discusses how the tenets of \"political correctness\" can pose a threat to education and anthropology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e▼ Prescribing CRISPR to humans?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Diseases that do not have a 100 percent incidence rate can be prevented through prenatal or preimplantation genetic testing.\u003cbr\u003e But what if the incidence rate is 100 percent? There's one way.\u003cbr\u003e The goal is to correct the genes that are causing the problem. It may sound like science fiction, but gene therapy is a reality of the near future.\u003cbr\u003e Gene transfer therapy is already being used to treat actual patients, and clinical trials are also underway to correct the genes in problematic somatic cells. \u003cbr\u003eSo, it is not impossible to correct genes in embryos with diseases.\u003cbr\u003e Gene editing of embryos has been criticized as unethical.\u003cbr\u003e But which is more ethical: discarding embryos with a high incidence of preimplantation disease or genetically correcting the embryos? Professor Cho Dong-hyun, a physician-scientist at Seoul National University College of Medicine, emphasizes that gene therapy is not far off, and that now is the time to seriously consider the ethical issues surrounding gene therapy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eAlso, Skeptic No. 37\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e - In 'How to Say New Year's Greetings to a Skeptic', columnist Oh Hu complains that it's difficult to even say New Year's greetings comfortably to a skeptic.\u003cbr\u003e Anyone who has ever asked this question will understand the author's frustration. \u003cbr\u003eWhy is it called New Year's Day?
