China locks up journalists, Texan anti-abortion Christians get stem cell treatment

The New York Times’ Nicholas D. Kristof raps the government on the knuckles for locking up Zhao Yan, a researcher for the Times in Beijing who was accused of leaking state secrets. The editorial, entitled China’s Donkey Droppings, is here.

The Guardian has an article about Dr Huang Hongyun whose stem cell treatments were covered in City Weekend in October this year. The Guardian article includes quotes from a Texan anti-abortion Christian being treated by Huang who says:

“Four thousand [abortions] a day. That’s a waste. Something good should come out of something bad. The people who don’t believe that aren’t in a wheelchair.”

The Guardian article is here, and there is a trailer for a short film produced about Huang by the Guardian here. The City Weekend article is here.
