Grade 'A' student was expelled from Russia's most prestigious university for refusing to cut up a frog. Roman Belousov now wants to take his professor to court to reverse the decision.

A Britain-based company offers reduced priced life insurance to vegetarians as a reward for making healthy lifestyle choice, The Guardian paper in UK reported. The policy is called "No Meat Rewards" and is offered by Animal Friends International (AFI), a dog and cat health insurance company.

AFI's goal is to get enough people to sign up for the discount to convince their corporate underwriter to create a separate policy recognizing diet as an important lifestyle factor.

France has announced a ban on the planting of genetically engineered crops until the safety of the crops can be further assessed. French President Nicolas Sarkozy indicated that the decision was based on the desire to err on the side of safety. "I don't want to be in contradiction with EU laws, but I have to make a choice. In line of the precautionary principle, I wish that the commercial cultivation of genetically modified pesticide GMOs be suspended."
