I-14: Assisted Reproduction and Religion What Consideration Should Be and Should Not Be Relevant,
Several important issues are pertinent to an ethical discussion of the new technology today grouped under the name Assisted Reproduction Technology (ART). This is a moral imperative because each of us must decide what is to be considered ethically acceptable in assisted reproduction. Reflecting on the ethical dimension of ‘creating’ a new human life can play a major role in ensuring that in eac...
متن کاملThe slope of the psychometric function and non-stationarity of thresholds in spatiotemporal contrast vision
The slope of the two-interval, forced-choice psychometric function (e.g. the Weibull parameter, β) provides valuable information about the relationship between contrast sensitivity and signal strength. However, little is known about how or whether β varies with stimulus parameters such as spatiotemporal frequency and stimulus size and shape. A second unresolved issue concerns the best way to es...
متن کاملDistraction of attention and the slope of the psychometric function.
The influential uncertainty model [J. Opt. Soc. Am. A 2, 1508 (1985)] attributes nonlinear contrast sensitivity near threshold to the inability of the observer to discriminate between the signal from stimulated locations and the noise from nonstimulated locations. We introduce an alternative interpretation, the distraction model, to describe the behavior of an observer who knows exactly which l...
متن کاملShould viral load thresholds be lowered?
The World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines on antiretroviral therapy (ART) define treatment failure as 2 consecutive viral loads (VLs) ≥1000 copies/mL. There is, however, little evidence supporting 1000 copies as an optimal threshold to define treatment failure. Objective of this study was to assess the correlation of the WHO definition with the presence of drug-resistance mutations in pati...
متن کاملThe slope of the psychometric function at different wavelengths.
Many current models of visual detection predict that the slope of psychometric functions for detection will be independent of the spectral power distribution of the test light once the spatial and temporal characteristics of the light are fixed. This article examines reports that the slope of the psychometric function depends on the wavelength of a spectrally-narrowband test light of fixed size...
