Nobel Scientists Want Hybrid Embryos Created
Leading scientists, including three Nobel prizewinners, have called on the Government's fertility watchdog to back the creation of "human-animal" embryos. In a letter published in The Times today, 45 experts, including the President of the Royal Society, urge the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) not to bar research that could help patients with currently incurable conditions such as motor neuron disease and Alzheimer's.

I'd Like A Double Clone-Burger With Supersized GM Fries Please!
For some years now, there has been a voluntary moratorium in the agriculture and food industry on selling cloned food. Despite the FDA's finding of nothing wrong with food from cloned animals, they didn't urge an immediate lifting of the moratorium. They said a more definite report would come out in the near future — maybe in a few months, maybe in a year. If their scientific evidence found nothing wrong, why didn't they just say, "Farmers, start your cloning?" My theory is because, as with me, it just seems a little weird to them. And it's going to take time for many of us to get used to the idea.

D.C. Bill Would Mandate Controversial Vaccine For Girls
The D.C. Council opened its legislative year by introducing a bill that could make the District one of the first jurisdictions in the country to require girls younger than 13 years old to get a new nationally debated vaccine against cervical cancer. Female students enrolling in the sixth grade would be asked to show proof of receiving the vaccine against the sexually transmitted human papilloma virus (HPV) under the bill, introduced yesterday by council members David A. Catania (I-At Large) and Mary M. Cheh (D-Ward 3).

Pat Robertson Prophesies 2007 As Last Year Of God's Grace On Earth
TERRY MEEUWSEN: And without doubt, every year, as you seek God, I guess this is His promise to all of us. But as you go away and seek Him for the coming year, God shows you some amazing things. PAT ROBERTSON: The first thing, Terry, that I think is God's Word to His people, to the believers worldwide, not just here in America, and the promise is that this year is going to be a year of extraordinary miracles. And if I'm hearing the Lord right.... The other thing He said was that this is the final year of the great demonstration of His grace to the world.

"Embryos are Humans" Says Government Report
A new report by the United States governments' Domestic Policy Council admits that embryos are human beings; the only differences between embryos and other human beings, says the report, are accidental differences in levels of development. "Embryos are humans in their earliest developmental stage," writes the Council.
