Human Stem Cell Work May Begin In Five Years (Oct 28 2003 11:53 GMT) - From Yahoo! News, the pioneers of stem cell research have said they expect clinical trials for embryonic stem cell therapies in humans within five years. However, anti-research legislation has done serious damage to scientific progress: "if embryonic stem cell research had not been involved in politics we would be far ahead of where we are today." As recent articles posted here note, present day legislation is minimal compared to the bans currently under consideration at national and global levels. |

EU To Restrict Stem Cell Research (Oct 28 2003 11:53 GMT) - We've previously noted efforts in the European Parliament to ban stem cell research. This article from CORDIS notes that efforts are still continuing; EU nations are already very restrictive, and research is suffering. In place of a complete ban, proponents are now aiming for legislation that would effectively cripple all new research instead (presumably because it can be made to sound more reasonable). I encourage readers in the EU to contact your MEPs and make your views known: |

Massachusetts Legislature To Promote Stem Cell Research (Oct 28 2003 11:53 GMT) - As reported in Boston.com, the Massachusetts legislature is to promote stem cell research, explicitly including work on embryonic stem cells. They join other state legislatures, such as California, in opposing Federal anti-research legislation. Embryonic stem cell research is the foundation of modern regenerative medicine, a field that will lead to longer, healthier lives (if not legislated out of existence). You can find out more about stem cells and regenerative medicine here at the Longevity Meme. |

genuine council complaints [Paulo Nery] (Oct 28 2003 11:51 GMT) - These are genuine clips from British Council flat tenants complaining to the Council about problems with their flats. My bush is really overgrown round the front and my back passage has fungus growing in it. He's got this huge tool that vibrates the whole house and I just can't take it any more. It's the dog’s mess that I find hard to swallow. I want some repairs done to my cooker as it has backfired and burnt my knob off. |
