I'm reserving judgement. It says that its aim is to encourage  
"intelligent discussion" of life science news, but the top rated  
items don't have any comments on them (even the items whose summary  
say they have comments don't have any comments appearing on their  
pages). Then you very quickly get to the vacuous "Be Kind to Yourself  
when you Practice Yoga" articles. Also check out http:// 
www.discover8.com/article/Healthy_to_Eat_Fish_During_Pregnancy__0  
which achieves one of the highest ratings and yet states that the  
studies were produced by Reuters. This does have a comment, but it is  
from a child.
