Good Morning All, Here's the overnight "News & Views".... from the media The New York Times has a great section on stem cells and cloning and all the pros and cons.... (Thankyou goes to my friend Helen in Oregon for alerting us on this one) If you are offended by in-depth science on cloning & embryos... You are hereby forewarned... this may be graphic... These articles and the attending Interactives sum up all the info we've assembled to date... Oh, one thing, the New York Times requires you register online... But it is FREE... My eyes are buggin' out 'n I'm gettin' overtired.... I need some sleep... Do these ARTICLES announce a CURE? Nope! Still a long time away..... Personally, I'm looking forward to seeing the movie "Ali" over the holidays... Cheers ........ murray INTERACTIVE FEATURE An Embryonic Journey - Fifty-six days in the life of an embryo, from fertilization until it becomes a fetus. http://www.nytimes.com/indexes/2001/12/18/science/index.html ALSO Click on: • Timeline: Stem Cell Research • Graphic: The Body's Master Builders • Adult Stem Cells; Repairing the Body • Stem Cell Lines A Thick Line Between Theory and Therapy, as Shown With Mice http://www.nytimes.com/2001/12/18/science/life/18MICE.html Controversy Over Cloning Reignites in Congress http://www.nytimes.com/2001/12/18/health/genetics/18CELL.html In Tiny Cells, Glimpses of Body's Master Plan http://www.nytimes.com/2001/12/18/health/genetics/18NEXT.html In Production of Stem Cells, Many Featured Actors but Few Stars http://www.nytimes.com/2001/12/18/health/genetics/18PLAY.html Scientists Seek Ways to Rebuild the Body, Bypassing the Embryos http://www.nytimes.com/2001/12/18/health/genetics/18ALTE.html Apostle of Regenerative Medicine Foresees Longer Health and Life http://www.nytimes.com/2001/12/18/health/genetics/18HASE.html Personal Health: Weighing the Rights of the Embryo Against Those of the Sick http://www.nytimes.com/2001/12/18/health/genetics/18BROD.html Use of Cloning to Tailor Treatment Has Big Hurdles, Including Cost http://www.nytimes.com/2001/12/18/health/genetics/18COST.html Defining the Undefinable: The Living Cell http://www.nytimes.com/2001/12/18/health/genetics/18LIFE.html Stem Cell Glossary http://www.nytimes.com/2001/12/18/health/genetics/18GLOS.html ARTICLE: Shoulder-to-Shoulder With Ali http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A57976-2001Dec18.html NEWS: Chinese research embraces therapeutic cloning http://www.siliconvalley.com/docs/news/depth/china121801.htm BBC NEWS: Stem cell ethics under microscope Europe wrestles with stem cell question http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/world/europe/newsid_1717000/1717094.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/world/europe/newsid_1717000/1717039.stm * * * ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
