The Olympics are officially underway

And so is chemotherapy for a pregnant leukemia patient in the Dominican Republic. Her life was at risk because anti-abortion laws in the Dominican Republic prevented doctors from treating her, but she has started receiving chemo. But instead of breaking laws that I don't really agree with, they could've flown her to nearby Puerto Rico (a territory of the USA) and given her chemo there. It doesn't matter now because she's receiving the chemo, and the treatment should continue because laws against abortion shouldn't be construed as preventing the mother from receiving possibly life-saving treatment. In fact, said laws shouldn't exist, and neither should this: security researchers have discovered a way to replicate a person's eye to bypass iris-scanning security systems. A team at the Universidad Autonoma de Madrid was able to recreate the image of an iris from digital codes of real irises stored in security databases. This new finding raises doubts over what is considered to be one of the most secure methods of biometric security.
