Stem Cell Breakthrough: Bone Marrow Cells Are the Answer

This weeks article is about how scientists from Iowa and Iran discovered a new strategy for making embryonic stem cells using cells from mice. It involves using bone marrow cells to embryonic stem cells. Once fused, the hybrid cells have DNA from both the donor and the recipient raising hopes that immune rejection of embryonic stem cells therapies can be avoided without drugs. The study holds greats promises for the future embryonic stem cells. They then discovered that these cells could fuse into different types of cells in addition to embryonic stem cells icluding liver, heart, kidney, and gut.
Our opinion is that it is a great discovery because it allowed us as humans to cure diseases with stem cells without the need to kill a embryo. We are happy because some diseases that before couldn't be cured and that it can really make the difference on sick people. We are affected because if one day we become sick or someone that we know is sick now he or she will be able to live a normal life.
There are no bias.

Ozone Hole Healing Could Cause Further Climate Warming

This weeks article is about how the ozone whole is closing finally the biggest environmental problem is healing, but is this actually helping us? Scientists discovered that this whole actually helps to shield the region which it is from carbon-induced warming, and now the help is closing. These created high speed winds beneath the hole which made clouds which reflect powerful sun rays. This helped to reduce global warming. Now this winds are dying making carbon dioxide rise and that can affect the climate. Scientists believe that this can accelerate warming in the southern hemisphere.
Bias:Scientists really believe this can affect global warming.
Opinion: Our opinion about this topic is that it is really confusing because there is nothing we can do to help because if we do something it can riseglobal warming. What we thought was good now turns to be bad. It affects us because we are increasing global warming an that affects everyone. Now in our opinion there is no solution.

NASA finds cocaine in shuttle hangar

This weeks article is about that the NASA founded cocaine in the hangar of the Kennedy Space Center in Tampa, Florida. The NASA people informed that they are doing an investigation about of small amount of cocaine they found in a very restricted area. The director of the institute said that it is small incident that won't happen again and that won't disturb any worker. Based on the investigation, there were 200 NASA workers that were around the crime scene at that time. The cocaines was found in a little bag in the floor near a bathroom in a restricted area. The people think this won't affect the next launching. The good thing is that there is a lot of security in the investigation.
Our opinion is that it is a total irresponsibility of the NASA to don't have the enough security to get any person with cocaine inside there. We are afraid because this is a demonstration that in every place there are bad people who want to destroy health. It affect us because if someone could enter cocaine in the NASA, which is one of the most secure places, then people can enter drugs or even bombs to any place. Also, it shows that the security itself has decreased there and everywhere. We hope that this won't happen again.
There are no bias.
