It's only April still, but this is the time when the first forecasts for the hurricane season come out. They will be refined in the coming months, as historically, April forecasts have about the same skill as Maggie the monkey from the NHL predictions made at TSN, perhaps even worse. Dr. Jeff...

Pushing the bounds of ethics. A couple in Port Coquitlam BC is having another baby, in the hopes that stem cells taken from the umbilical cord might save their 8 year old son from leukemia. The couple calls this baby a 'saviour baby', in the hopes that pre-screening IVF embryos--a process...
