This is a historic breakthrough that could revolutionise medicine. A woman with multiple sclerosis, for example, could use one of her own eggs and have a piece of her skin used to extract DNA, which could then be put into that unfertilised egg - and cells could be derived that might cure her of MS. At this point, we cannot know how long it will take to deliver this breakthrough to people with diseases and disabilities. I wouldn't want to speculate with a number, because you're bound to be wrong. If you say two years, if you say 10 years - both are likely to be wrong.

Oversight will be absolutely crucial - there is the potential for abuse, and the technology of cloning should never be used to reproduce human beings.

    What slippery slope? : We have nothing to fear from the cloning of human embryos by South Korean scientists, says Christopher Reeve, G, 13.2.2004, http://www.guardian.co.uk/genes/article/0,2763,1147269,00.html

 

 

 

 

 

The cancellation of a spate of flights to the US at the weekend followed "serious and credible" intelligence of a possible terrorist attack, British officials familiar with the reports said yesterday.

The travelling public should prepare for more inconvenience. Well-placed Whitehall sources suggested that flight cancellations will happen "from time to time" as intelligence agencies concentrate on the threat from al-Qaida.

    Warning to travellers: expect more cancellations : 'Serious and credible' intelligence grounds flights, G, 2.2.2004, http://www.guardian.co.uk/terrorism/story/0,12780,1136839,00.html

 

 

 

 

 

I also have a message for all Americans: The capture of Saddam Hussein does not mean the end of violence in Iraq. We still face terrorists who would rather go on killing the innocent than accept the rise of liberty in the heart of the Middle East. Such men are a direct threat to the American people, and they will be defeated.

We've come to this moment through patience and resolve and focused action. And that is our strategy moving forward. The war on terror is a different kind of war, waged capture by capture, cell by cell, and victory by victory. Our security is assured by our perseverance and by our sure belief in the success of liberty. And the United States of America will not relent until this war is won.

May God bless the people of Iraq, and may God bless America. Thank you.

Mr Holland's idea is that a conscious robot would have to build up internal models

- one for the "self" of the robot and another for the world around it.

Humans do this kind of evaluating almost without thinking. In order to be able to plan realistically,

for example, we need to know not only what our physical limitations are (what we could do)

and what is the best choice if we consider our options (what we should do)

but also what we are likely to choose (what we would do).

A lot can happen in nine months. House prices can rocket. And levels of sympathy for the homeless can plummet. How else do you account for the fact that a baby can be born to a child living rough right on our expensive doorsteps? The cold fact is no-one noticed her condition. No-one took the trouble.  She was just moved on. And on. And on. It's no use blaming society as a whole. We find it too easy to excuse ourselves from society as a whole. The only under-evaluation we should be worried about is in the belief that our attitudes can make a difference.

This is the dramatic design chosen to replace the World Trade Center destroyed in the 9/11 terror attacks. A huge shard-like spire will form the focal point of the angular development in New York. Soaring to 1,776ft, the spire will be the world's tallest inhabited building. It will contain a dramatic "vertical garden" packed with exotic plants, including a section of rain forest. The glass design by architect Daniel Libeskind will preserve the seven-acre pit that formed the Twin Towers' foundations. The area will become a memorial to the 2,800 who died when terrorists crashed two hijacked jets into the WTC. The design also incorporates two squares, placed so that they will be flooded with sunlight at the time of the attacks every September 11. The design, chosen from a shortlist of nine, will take ten years to build and cost £330 million.
