In the past it has been claimed there is a need to harvest stem cells from abortions to compare with adult stem cells moved back. Embryonic stem cells often cause cancer, adult stem cells (not from aborted human beings) were seen as the safest. If it is confirmed, a new method which involves straight transfer from stem cells to needed cells may do away with that so-called not really need altogether:
"Canadian scientists have turned human skin cells directly into blood cells, the first time one kind of mature human cell has been converted into another, according to a study published last week in the journal Nature.
The transformation was completed without first rewinding the skin cells into the flexible pluripotent stem cells that have most frequently been used to grow tissues. By skipping the pluripotent step, the researchers believe they have skirted the risk that the replacement cells might form dangerous tumours.
The team created blood progenitor cells - mother cells that multiply to produce other blood cells - as well as mature blood cells, according to the report. Both types of cells could be useful in medical treatments, said study leader Mick Bhatia, a stem cell scientist at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario."

Massive casualties as Syrian Catholic church attacked by Islamic Special Interest terror tactics utilising group|
01 | November (11th Month) | 2010 AD
Article by Marc Aupiais
A Syrian Catholic church was held hostage in Iraq, resulting in dozens of deaths and more injuries. It is uncertain if the majority of deaths occurred before or after police stormed the church, having reportedly not attempted to negotiate with hostage takers, reportedly belonging to an Islamic Special Interests group, which some in the West link to Al Qaeda.
47 people are dead, and dozens more that is: at least about 60 (mostly women) injured, after militants, claimed as foreign by local Iraqi press, stormed the Iraqi stock exchange, and after this, a Syrian Catholic church: Our Lady of Deliverance parish. The militants, on taking the parish, killed the priest instantly, and took about 100 people within the church hostage according to reports. When police stormed the building without any reported negotiations, suicide bombers set off their bombs and threw grenades at police according to reports. A local Iraqi television station claims an attacker phoned them claiming to be part of the Islamic State of Iraq, an Islamic special interests group, allegedly linked to Al Qaeda, and allegedly capable of using terror tactics.
Islamic State of Iraq, also is possibly the source of a text on an Islamic militant website, claiming to be from the group and giving the alleged reasons for the attack.
The text referred to two women who allegedly converted from Coptic Christianity to Islam, in order to divorce their husbands in Egypt, before disappearing. They reportedly reappeared claiming no conversion, before allegedly being spirited away to distant monasteries. People converting from Islam have previously alleged being in danger of life and limb for the move. The Islamic special interests group, has asked the Vatican to "release" the women, whom it says it considers victims of Christian oppression, and to be Muslim. It claims the women are being held by Christians.
Whether the church was the intended target of the militants, or the stock exchange, is uncertain. Attacks against Christians in Iraq have been commonplace since an American invasion disposed of former President Saddam Hussein, imposing a new regime upon Iraq with the help of a northern tribe of former separatists. Iraq has asked foreign nations not to accept Christian refugees due to a skills draining caused by what some players in the region consider a genocide against minority Christians in the country.
Before Republican US President George W. Bush invaded Iraq, the Vatican warned of such a potential genocide, asking the president not to enter the country. While sectarian violence has been reduced under years of occupation, after an initial spike due to the ending of the Saddam Hussein regime, violence against Christians has only increased. Critics of the current Democratic Party Barack Obama US administration have claimed that early withdrawal of American troops created a power vacuum, endangering westerners and minorities in the majority Islamic and Arab nation.
Police on the scene, the Iraqi government, and the US military all give different statistics for casualties, arrests, and the number of militants. About 10 Iraqi police died in storming the church.
Attacks against churches, and kidnappings, and murders of Christians are common in Iraq, with Christian groups reported as claiming that the US installed and now elected Iraqi government does little or nothing to protect their basic human interests.

Lancet article considers alcohol more dangerous than drugs

Lancet Publishes contrary and controversial alcohol/drugs study|
01 | November (11th Month) | 2010 AD
Article by Marc Aupiais
In a controversial article, the Lancet Medical journal has given a platform to David Nutt, a controversial scientist who was fired from the British government for his controversial view that dangerous drugs should be classified as less dangerous than they are by the British government. He has suggested that horse riding is more dangerous than ecstasy use, and was angered when the British government refused to accept some of his more controversial views.
The Lancet study considers Alcohol the most dangerous drug in use, 8 times more dangerous than ecstasy. Over a dozen factors were taken into account ranging from lost friendships to damage to the environment, with the acute danger to drugs users themselves only one of many factors. A commentary also appearing in the edition of Lancet noted that the study did not look at cross usage of drugs, but said this was beyond its scope.
Professor David Nutt was fired by then home secretary Alan Johnson for demanding ministers listen to the controversial advice of his government Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs, which had fronted his views on drugs in a different format, according to the Daily Mail. Professor David Nutt told the BBC that alcohol is a terrible societal ill in his perspective and that this is because it is so available.
The direct connection between drugs, violent crime, the Taliban, drug lords, and organized crime has not seemed as important to the Lancet "experts" as Alcohol's negative effects. It also does not seem to note that alcohol when taken in moderate amounts is not extensively dangerous to health, and that there are many forms of alcohol.
The study was released just as California considers legalising Cannabis use by the population in general. Cannabis is known to cause schizophrenia in those with genetic predispositions.
The study seems to have relied on value judgements in every case made by "the experts". David Nutt, and another scientist who quit after the British parliament had him fired, are two thirds of the authors of the study.
CNN, and a BBC blog, appear to have portrayed the Lancet study very favourably. A possible factor in Alcohol's high danger rating is the fact that alcohol is legal and openly used and acceptable in society, while drugs are not. The study is being used by drugs legalization special interests campaigners to attempt to get narcotics legalized, despite the fact the study does nothing to reduce the huge personal harm of using narcotics.
While most adults consume alcohol, many with no negative effects, much fewer people regularly take narcotics, giving heed to laws introduced due to high road accidents, deaths, and other preventable societal ills.
