| Sunday, August 26, 2007 at 10:55 PM |  |  Statement for the Record on Human Cloning by Harold Varmus, M.D. Director, National Institutes of Health U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Before the House Committee on Commerce, Subcommittee on Health and Environment February 12, 1998 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am Harold Varmus, Director of the National Institutes of Health. My statement addresses how somatic cell nuclear transfer offers potential benefits for medical research and more...medical practice. This technology was first brought to public attention when Ian Wilmut and his colleagues at the Roslin Institute, Edinburgh, published in the February 27, 1997 issue of Nature, the results of their cloning experiments in sheep. The likely benefits from these studies are contributions to animal husbandry and medical research. But the importance of these contributions has been dwarfed by the public's fascination with Dolly, a lamb cloned from the cell of an adult sheep. The successful cloning of an adult sheep sharply focused public attention on the possibility of cloning a human being.
The President, recognizing the ethical and societal implications of the Dolly experiment, requested the National Bioethics Advisory Committee to examine this issue and report recommendations within 90 days. The Committee concluded "that there should be imposed a period of time in which no attempt is made to create a child using somatic cell nuclear transfer." They further cautioned that "Any regulatory or legislative actions undertaken to effect the foregoing prohibition on creating a child by somatic cell nuclear transfer should be carefully written so as not to interfere with other important areas of scientific research." Their final suggestion was to formally re-evaluate this issue in three to five years. Subsequently, over 67,000 scientists involved in reproduction biology signed a voluntary moratorium on the cloning of a human.
This hearing is a continuation of the public discourse on this issue. It is imperative that this discourse be informed and comprehensive. I would like to discuss briefly the science that was used to create Dolly, and describe the scientific and medical promises of this technology.
SOMATIC CELL NUCLEAR TRANSFER WHAT IS IT? I am certain that many people have heard of somatic cell nuclear transfer. I am also certain that there is much confusion and misunderstanding about this technology.
In order to understand this technology, it is necessary to briefly review normal sexual reproduction in mammals (see the top of Chart 1). Normally, an egg and sperm join to create a fertilized egg which develops into an embryo and ultimately a newborn animal. In this situation, the progeny receives genetic material from both the mother and father.
In the Dolly experiment, a lamb was produced using the technology of somatic cell nuclear transfer. Unlike the normal process of sexual reproduction in which an egg and a sperm each contribute genetic material, somatic cell nuclear transfer is asexual. A somatic cell is any cell except the egg cells or sperm cells. Somatic cells contain the full complement of chromosomes. In contrast, an egg or a sperm contains half that number.
Somatic cell nuclear transfer is done in the following way (see the bottom of Chart 1), using sheep as an example. First a normal sheep egg cell is taken from a ewe and the nucleus (the cell structure containing the chromosomes) is removed, yielding an egg cell containing the nutrients and other energy producing materials that are essential for embryo development, but not the chromosomes. Next, a somatic cell is isolated--in the case of Dolly, a cell grown in cell culture from the mammary tissue of an adult sheep. Under certa less |  |

|  | World Liberty Concert Alan Parsons - Sirius-Eye In The Sky  07:41 This is a slightly 'cleaned up' video of Sirius/Eye In The Sky. The World Liberty Concert was held on 8 May 1995 and commemorated the 50th anniversary more...of VE-Day, the liberation of Europe. The venue for the concert was Arnhem, the Netherlands, near the John Frost bridge, the bridge immortalized in the film `A Bridge Too Far'. The idea for the WLC was conceived by 25 year old Dutchman Arno Geul, who, at an early stage, decided Alan Parsons was the perfect Musical Director for the show. Apart from (not entirely live) performances of the Alan Parsons Band (with Chris Thompson and Mick Mullins on vocals), Candy Dulfer, Art Garfunkel, UB40 and many others (including an 80 piece orchestra and a local choir), the show consists of military parades, airshows and a narration by Walter Cronkite, the legendary war correspondent and later news anchorman. The Alan Parsons Band performed a number of well-known songs (Sirius/Breakaway, Old and Wise, The Gold Bug, Sirius/Eye in the Sky) plus some new material commissioned for the show (among which White Dawn) and also accompanied Dulfer, Joe Cocker and Art Garfunkel on their segments. The show was televised live in 40 countries, was attended by approximately 85.000 people and is about two hours long. less Added: Sep 21, 08 Channel: imhavingaboy24 Views: 47 Category: News |
|  | |  | BILDERBERG: DEMAND DESTRUCTION - Daniel Estulin  09:36 Snowshoefilms series #3. In early 2007, Daniel Estulin, on Dutch TV, exposed the meeting place and names of the Istanbul Bilderberg get-together. He also more...exposed the Bilderberg plan of global population reduction (3 billion or so), through mass starvation, diseases, and Peak Oil-induced de-industrialization. That "plan," Estulin notes, was initiated by Bilderberg operative Henry Kissinger in 1974 (NSSM 200) after Nixon had been forced out the the White House. Estulin says he himself is a front man (the writer and public face) for a group of intelligence agents (mostly ex-KGB) from Estulin's native Estonia. Part of a family of emigres from the Soviet Union in the mid-1980s, Daniel Estulin first found refuge in Canada. A Flamenco guitarist in addition to Bilderberg slueth, the author lives in Seville, Spain. After 10 years of peripheral intrigue, watching and reporting on the world's elite (the Owners and their Trusted Servants), Estulin sympathizes with the Bilderberg mantra of 'Peak Oil' and the consequent Bilderberg argument for massive population reduction in their effort to bring about a 'post-industrial world'. Shades of Parson Malthus with a Leo Straussian twist, the BBs. But wait! Take a gander at Lindsey Williams, on youtube, for starters. Williams was a southern Baptist preacher who reckoned the 25,000 men going up to build the Alaska pipeline needed Jesus. He got hired on in 1970 as Arco's chaplain. The public relations office saw what a good job he was doing, flying around from camp to camp, preaching Jesus (less fights, less drinking, fewer days off, less need of counseling for the thousands of men building the pipeline). ARCO gave Baptist preacher Rev. Lindsey Williams executive status, inviting him to sit in on board meetings. Rev. Williams did this for three years. And he sat in on the euphoric 1973 ARCO board meeting announcing an enormous North Shore oil discovery. All the gears were in motion to tell the world. Rev. Williams videos and book tell what happened. But, an addendum: just a cursory look suggests that plugging the Alaskan ARCO coincides with the heavy-duty moves to implement the Bilderberg plan (see NSSM 200, above). yoryevrah less Added: Jul 23, 08 Channel: imhavingaboy24 Views: 303 Category: News |
|  | | |  |  | States Seize Citizens Property to Balance Their Budgets  04:47 http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/story?id=48... ELISABETH LEAMY ABC News May 12, 2008
The 50 U.S. states are holding more than $32 billion worth of unclaimed more...property that they're supposed to safeguard for their citizens. But a "Good Morning America" investigation found some states aggressively seize property that isn't really unclaimed and then use the money ? your money ? to balance their budgets.
Unclaimed property consists of things like forgotten apartment security deposits, uncashed dividend checks and safe-deposit boxes abandoned when an elderly relative dies.
Banks and other businesses are required to turn that property over to the state for safekeeping. The problem is that the states return less than a quarter of unclaimed property to the rightful owners. less Added: Jul 18, 08 Channel: imhavingaboy24 Views: 64 Category: News |
