Pamplin Media Group - Sea creatures emerge from Mike Bennett's mind


Sea creatures emerge from Mike Bennett's mind
April 06 2021
Portland artist, who has done wooden cartoon cutouts in recent years, debuts 'A, B, Sea' later this month.
Artist Mike Bennett, noted for his large wooden cartoon cutouts, was quite flattered when one of his good friends, Joe Kye, paid him a great compliment.
Kye called him "a public joy creator" and, Bennett said, "it's a phrase I've held on to. I'm an artist and illustrator and social media influencer, but 'public joy creator' is what speaks to me the most."
Well, Bennett is all set to bring more joy to Portlanders and anybody who might venture to his house and yard in Northeast Portland, which he vaguely describes as "north of Alberta Street." Building off his "A to Zoo" theme, which featured animal creations whose names start with each letter of the alphabet, Bennett will introduce the public to "A, B, Sea" starting April 20, the one-year anniversary of "A to Zoo." It'll be 26 cutouts of different sea creatures starting with each letter of the alphabet.

Pamplin Media Group - Bioethicist calls for moratorium on 'designer babies'


Bioethicist calls for moratorium on 'designer babies'
Genetically engineered humans are now a reality, expert tells City Club of Portland.
A bioethicist-in-residence at the University of Oregon on Thursday, Feb. 18, said the time is now to institute a temporary halt on research into editing the human genome for future generations
Françoise Baylis, the 2020-21 Wayne Morse Chair at the school's Wayne Morse Center for Law and Politics said in a virtual discussion hosted by the City Club of Portland that the long-hypothetical discussion of crafting "designer babies" is now literally a reality.
The question of whether genetically engineering human beings should continue without restrictions or regulation is too important, she said, to be left to the scientists doing the work.

Gene editing on tap for Thursday online Portland discussion
February 16 2021
The global debate over gene editing has a local twist. Two researchers discuss its implications for society on Feb. 18.
On Thursday, Feb. 18, two health leaders will discuss how society could change due to gene editing, a field in which Portland-area researchers have broken important ground.
The virtual discussion, hosted by the City Club of Portland, runs from noon to 1 p.m. Thursday. Two speakers will bring different histories and perspectives to the discussion.
Françoise Baylis, a Canadian bioethicist and research professor at Dalhousie University in Nova Scotia, has written a book about the ethical dilemmas posed by human genome editing and co-authored research papers highlighting recent developments in the debate.
