Human eggs and sperm have been grown in the laboratory in research which could change the face of parenthood.

It paves the way for a cure for infertility and could help those left sterile by cancer treatment to have children who are biologically their own.

But it raises a number of moral and ethical concerns. These include the possibility of children being born through entirely artificial means, and men and women being sidelined from the process of making babies.

Opponents argue that it is wrong to meddle with the building blocks of life and warn that the advances taking place to tackle infertility risk distorting and damaging relations between family members.

The U.S. government-funded research also offers the prospect of a ‘miracle pill’ which staves off the menopause, allowing women to wait longer to have a child.

It centres on stem cells, widely seen as a repair kit for the body.

Scientists at Stanford University in California found the right cocktail of chemicals and vitamins to coax the cells into becoming eggs and sperm.

In some UFO lore, the “grey” aliens reportedly are humans in an alternate time line who relied on genetic engineering exclusively to propagate their race. This led to a breakdown in the genetic diversity and quality of their DNA to the point where they were going extinct.

The story goes that this is the reason for many alien abductions, forced human pregnancies and cattle mutilations. They are all ways the aliens are attempting to recover genetic material.

Along with losing the ability to procreate, the greys also lost any connection to emotions and morality when their DNA degraded.

Whether the stories have any basis in reality of if they’re just fiction, the stories do point out some potential drawbacks of relying on technology for even the most intimate human processes.

By directly manipulating the activity of individual neurons, scientists have given flies memories of a bad experience they never really had, according to a report in the October 16th issue of the journal Cell.

“Flies have the ability to learn, but the circuits that instruct memory formation were unknown,” said Gero Miesenböck of the University of Oxford. “We were able to pin the essential component down to 12 cells. It’s really remarkable resolution.” Those dozen cells are sufficient to manage what is a difficult cognitive problem: learning to associate a particular odor with something bad, like an electric shock. In essence, these cells create memories that the fly then uses to avoid that odor.

“Chancellor and Ministers are to be protected after Spiegel sources with special vaccine against pig flu. An official of Ministries and subordinate authorities likewise. The Vakzin does not contain disputed additives – contrary to the vaccine for the remainder of the population.

Berlin – until few days ago had hardly anyone outside of specialized circles the word Adjuvans heard. But now a public discussion inflamed over the composition of the vaccine for the shortly starting pig flu inoculation. The term emerges again and again, which an additive is named for effect reinforcement.

Critics argue that Adjuvantien could lead to increased inoculation reactions such as headache or fever. Supporters hold against the fact that the inoculation is safe with the additives also – and that more active substance doses could be manufactured in this way. Some days ago the German Federal Armed Forces had announced that it ordered a vaccine without additives for its soldiers.

“No, CERN hasn’t started slamming protons into each other at the Large Hadron Collider early. And no, a top secret warp drive hasn’t been test-driven in Earth orbit (not that we know of anyway). In reality, an electromagnetic black hole has been fabricated in the laboratory for the first time.

Before you start getting concerned that the planet will soon be swallowed up by a rampaging singularity, the black hole in question isn’t the gravitational behemoth you might find after a supernova or in the center of the Milky Way. This particular table-top black hole mimics the curvature of space-time, creating a fabricated event horizon that swallows electromagnetic radiation at microwave wavelengths.

The best thing is that this experiment isn’t just for curiosity-sake, it has a practical application that could revolutionize future solar panel design, making the production of solar energy a lot more efficient than it is currently.”

He also states that he personally is “going to” get the vaccine. However, he supposedly already had gotten the shot in the following video. So does this mean that the shot he got was a fake?

Did Dr. Oz Get A Fake Vaccine Shot?

Edit/Update: In this video he was getting the seasonal flu shot, not a swine flu shot.

New York Nurses Protest Mandatory Vaccinations

One in three nurses ‘do not want swine flu vaccine’

Owen Bowcott
The Guardian, Tuesday 18 August 2009

Almost a third of nurses will refuse the offer of immunisation against swine flu because they have fears about the vaccine’s safety, according to a new survey.

Military personnel who are forced to take the vaccine are in an especially bad situation because if the vaccine cripples them the government will not pay for their treatment.

VA won’t pay benefits to Marine whose injuries came from vaccine

By David Goldstein, McClatchy Newspapers – Sun Aug 30, 6:00 am ET

WASHINGTON — It wasn’t a bullet or roadside bomb that felled Lance Cpl. Josef Lopez three years ago after nine days in Iraq .

It was an injection into his arm before his unit left the states.

The then 20-year-old Marine from Springfield, Mo. , suffered a rare adverse reaction to the smallpox vaccine. While the vaccine isn’t mandatory, the military strongly encourages troops to take it.

However, it left Lopez in a coma, unable for a time to breathe on his own and paralyzed for weeks. Now he can walk, but with a limp. He has to wear a urine bag constantly, has short-term memory loss and must swallow 15 pills daily to control leg spasms and other ailments.

And even though his medical problems wouldn’t have occurred if he hadn’t been deployed, Lopez doesn’t qualify for a special government benefit of as much as $100,000 for troops who suffer traumatic injuries.

The hangup? His injuries were caused by the vaccine.

“I could have easily died, or not been able to walk because of that,” Lopez said. “It destroyed my world. It was pretty traumatic to me.”

Former Lieutenant Colonel Sues Florida Over Forced Vaccination Policy

SANTA ROSA – Follow up to a story we told you about last week.

A Navarre woman, who is fighting a vaccination law, had a court hearing in Milton Thursday afternoon.

Carmen Reynolds is suing Florida’s governor, attorney general and surgeon general. She is fighting a law that says if there’s a severe public danger, the state can force people to be vaccinated. The law makes no exceptions for health conditions or religious objections. The only alternative is quarantine. The statute says law enforcement officers can be called in if necessary. The attorney general’s office has filed a motion to dismiss, saying that Reynolds hasn’t been directly affected by the law.

Carmen Reynolds: “I served my country for 22 years not to be told that I am a criminal, a 2nd degree misdemeanor offender because I raised my hand and said this isn’t right. I don’t want toxins in my body because it jeopardizes my health.”

Via The Daily Telegraph:

IS this bizarre creature really an alien baby or just part of an elaborate hoax – and was it the cause of a mysterious revenge death?

Mexican TV revealed the almost unbelievable story – in 2007, a baby ‘alien’ was found alive by a farmer in Mexico.

He drowned it in a ditch out of fear, and now two years later scientists have finally been able to announce the results of their tests on this sinister-looking carcass.

At the end of last year the farmer, Marao Lopez, handed the corpse over to university scientists who carried out DNA tests and scans.

He claimed that it took him three attempts to drown the creature and he had to hold it underwater for hours.

Reportedly the farmer who found it was found burned to death in his parked car.
