Gosh how this takes me back in time and I mean a long time ago.
Just met my ex, getting married, our first Baby!
And my ex worked for, Professor Ian Wilmut.
Happy days they were, No regrets!
And I was always updated on the new research Professor Ian Wilmut, was up to!

BW, just copy and paste, as I did! as if its two different papers or something!

There may be more to all this than meets the eye. Have a look at the question being asked here:

Cloning- why not? You can do your chores for you.

Embryo use was, is and always will be wrong morally because there is no surer point to chart the genesis of a human being than the point of conception. Every other point has the smell of arbitrariness about it. As long as embryo use was seen as the only way of producing stem-cells, scientists who were troubled about this ignored the voice of their conscience. Now, they are much happier people.

Seems the moral theologians of the Catholic church were on absolutely right in expressing their views on this matter.Science watchers will find the proceedings of the latest La Jolla conference interesting -seems religion is slowly back into favour- mad Dawkins did not have the same platform this time

Even if the catholic theologians WERE right (and I have grave doubts that this is so), you go WAY overboard Sir if you continue to claim that religion is back in fashion. There is more chance of us recommencing putting children back up the lums than the medieval twaddle coming from the churches ever invigorating the thought processes of the mainstream public again. The church(es) are to the fore in the same way as the flat earth society is to the public fore, and if there were a god, I'd be anxious to thank him for that particular mercy.
Dawkins has finally rumbled you guys, and you hate him for it,no matter how many honeyed words you use to surround his exposing your dumbness.

Justify dawkins selective-non scientific-approach to belief systems
"Darwins Angels"is a good read -educate yourself about the man who uses his own papers as primary references
I see Dawkins has infected you as well with the tendency to invective and bluster -very infectious as a disciple /mentor tendency

What is the plural of Douglas Alexander?

Infected with science: If religion is a cultural virus, where does that leave science?

Christians hit on the idea of celebrating Christmas on 25 December at some time in the 4th century AD. Although they had no idea on which day Christ was born, their choice was not a coincidence; the date was already a pagan festival, which marked the birth of the sun god at the winter solstice. The Christians were then struggling for power with the long-established Roman religion and needed something to keep their followers busy while everyone else was enjoying a holiday. So 25 December has been passed down from antiquity to the present as a feast of the nativity - with certain discreet improvements in the identity of the birthday god.

Christmas is only one example of a cultural rule, or symbol, that has been passed down through the generations, in this case in societies culturally descended from Rome. It is the sort of thing that tempts us to extend the theory of evolution from genetics to human culture. Even the way the early Christians competitively schemed to select the festival date is reminiscent of the struggle for existence that drives biological evolution. And in some respects human cultures do indeed change like biological species.

Cultural evolution occurs because we possess a mechanism for replicating cultural ideas and rules from individual to individual; New Scientist is part of that mechanism. If ideas can be propagated through a human population, some will do so better than others, and will predominate. They may propagate better because of their inherent appeal to the human brain or, as some anthropologists would prefer to say, because they are supported by powerful groups in society which have an interest in promoting a ce

Douglas Alexander plural ?

An even bigger election mess and many more tortured draft scripts for Gordon .God Forbid
You can also include sibling rivalry and the dynamic is potentially pathlogical

Am I dreaming or wasn't there a court case a while back that looked at who exactly did what in the so-called cloning work? And why was the unique experiment of Dolly never repeated, by anyone in the world? There are more questions raised by all this than the noble relinquishing of the technique answers. I heard a long time ago that Dolly was not all she was cracked up to be. Anyway she was prematurely arthritic and now long dead. That is one of the legacies of Prof Wilmut's science. And there's an empty piece of ground in Midlothian where PPE Theraputics and a lot of ratepayers money is buried.

12, there is so much more even apart from the Singh issue, typical closed doors, buddy look after buddy scholls ......................

it will all come out one day, ..........
