Article Abstract
The current article provides an ethical reflection on the moral status of the human embryo, which is a crucial factor in determining permissible actions involving embryos and the extent of their protection. It advocates for the extension of the research period for embryos to 28-days post fertilization. It also states that integrated embryo-like structures (ELSs) should not currently be given the same moral status as natural embryos. However, if they pass the relevant tests, they should be subject to the same rules as natural embryos.

Discovering antecedents of antisocial behavior in the classroom: the influence of social exclusion on antisocial risk-taking.

Introduction/background: This study investigates how social exclusion experiences influence antisocial risk-taking behaviors in adolescents by examining the interplay between classroom social acceptance and experimentally induced social exclusion.
Methods: Using a sequential experimental design with students in years 7-9 of the German school system (ages 12-16), we first assessed participants' classroom social acceptance within their classrooms through sociometric measures, then randomly assigned them to experience either experimentally induced social inclusion ( = 65) or exclusion ( = 64) using the Cyberball paradigm, and finally measured their antisocial risk-taking using an adapted Columbia Card Task as well as moral disengagement.
Results: Results revealed a complex relationship whereby social exclusion effects were moderated by pre-existing classroom social acceptance status.

Famed lawyer Clarence Darrow (1857-1938) argued strongly for an early-life public health approach to crime prevention, one that focused on education, poverty reduction, and equity of resources. Due to his defense of marginalized persons and his positions that were often at odds with his legal colleagues and public opinion, he was known as the Big Minority Man. He argued that the assumption of free will-humans as free moral agents-justifies systems of inequity, retributive punishment, and "unadulterated brutality.

Moralization is the process by which preferences become moral values. We investigated a practice that is changing its moral status on college campuses in the United States: affirmative consent to sexual activity.

This article proposes a theoretical framework for human personality development based on Husn-i-Akhlaaq, the Islamic model of character refinement as the key to achieving one's highest potential (Self-Actualization). Islam designates human beings as Allah's viceregents on Earth, yet this status is not inherent; it is realized through a structured process of moral and spiritual growth. Drawing from Islamic thought, particularly Rumi's Universal Man and Iqbal's Mard-i-Momin, we argue that personal perfection is not just an abstract or metaphysical state but a measurable and attainable goal.
