  • Life in Cyberspace
    Two disparaging claims often made about the online world are that it is inhibited with nerds who don't have a life and that 30 years old woman you met and liked is actually a 13 year old boy. Both have a basis in fact. Some pioneering message-board addicts were in reality socially challenged hackers, and lot of 13 year old boys probably don't have the confidence to confess up to their true civil state online.

    But the time for convenient generalizations about the population of the online world is past. It's in its Devonian era now, swarming with rapidly evolving forms that may or may not ...

  • Paternity Testing Regulation: Help or Hindrance?

    Introduction

    The internet has opened up opportunities for many DNA laboratories to distribute free paternity test kits in hopes of a sale from returned samples. In Europe, France is the only country that regulates how paternity tests are conducted. Citizens of other European nations are free to satisfy their own curiosities and nagging doubts, while French citizens jump through hoops. Regulation and red tape protect some while hindering others.

    Society Perspective

    Pro: In 1941, the French government adopted a law called “Accouchement Sous X,” or Childbirth U ...

  • Debunking the Cradle of Civilization Myth
    ABRAHAM: - The Biblical character Abraham is of primary importance in a complex of religions lead by the Judaeo/Christian/Islamic labels. He has been attributed with great wisdom and yet he behaved in atrocious ways. It is likely that there was more than one Abraham who made up this truly awesome fable. Abraham Eleazor may have had great wisdom and some of his feats may have been incorporated into the persona or image of Abraham the Patriarch of a large family of Ur/Chaldean people who moved and later conquered other territories due (in part) to the baby-factory or harems he initiated.

    Genetics News:

    Gene therapy corrects PKU in mice (Reuters)
    Reuters - Researchers have used a novel gene transfer technique to remedy a genetic defect, phenylketonuria (PKU), in mice. The process targets a corrective gene to a specific neutral site on the chromosomes of liver cells, so that inserting the gene doesn't cause any genetic damage.

    Colgate Is Looking At Gene Therapy To Combat Oral Cancers
    Brush your teeth and rinse with gene therapy. That could be the future of oral health care as envisioned by Colgate-Palmolive and Introgen Therapeutics, a biotechnology company. The companies announced an alliance on Friday to incorporate gene therapy an exotic, experimental and so far largely unsuccessful form of medicine into mouthwashes, gels and similar products to treat and prevent oral cancers. Colgate is buying about 3.6 million shares of Introgen, or a 9.7 percent stake. Colgate will pay $20 million, or $5.54 a share, the same as Introgen's closing price on Thursday. On Friday, Introgen shares climbed 8 percent, to $5.96 Gene therapy involves putting genes into cells in the body, often to replace g...

  • Why Do You Have Asthma?
    Asthma is an inflammatory condition where your bronchiales constrict causing breathing difficulties. Your bronchioles become inflamed for a variety of physical, emotional and environmental reasons. It is not contagious so, you cannot catch it from another person.

    But what is the real cause asthma? Why do some people develop asthma and why is asthma more common in the western world?

    Inheriting Asthma

  • Heretical Chinese House Churches

    One of the more insightful warnings Christians can receive bears on relationships with other Christians. It goes something like this: Do you want to ignore what other Christians say and do? That’s like giving your charitable donations to donkeys and reindeer.

    That’s an alarm more deafening than the siren of a nearby fire station when you consider what’s happening among some house churches in China, as reported in the ‘Outlook” section of The Washington Post on Nov. 28, 2004.
