ARTICLE 5 : DILEMMAS RAISED BY CLONING TECHNOLOGY
As the cloning debate heats up, BBC news Online Science Editor Dr David Whitehouse considers the ethical issues. Those wanting better treatment for diseases should welcome Tuesday’s announcement that medical research involving cloning human cells should be allowed. Understanding that process is vital to understanding ourselves, and many scientist say that a sensible and open use of the cloning technology is crucial.
When cloning human cell the disease we face diseases such as cancer, Parkinson, cystic fibrosis, Alzheimer’s and it is also can be spinal paralysis. And sometimes they just get old and less efficient would it be irresponsible if scientists ignored the opportunity to gain more knowledge about the workings of the cell, so much of which has already come from cloning research?
ARTICLE 6: GOOGLE TAKING A STEP INTO POWER METERING
Google will announce its entry Tuesday into the small but growing business of “smart grid” digital technologies that seek to both keep the electrical system on an even keel and reduce electrical energy consumption. Google is counting to build other devices to feed data into Power Meter Technology but they can’t build it product by themselves because it depend on a whole ecosystem of utilities, device makers and policies. Smart grid is the new buzz phrase in the electric business, encompassing a variety of approaches that involve more communication between utility operators and components of the grid.
