Three parents for one child!




British scientists currently working on the development of innovative treatment can prevent genetic conditions that affect the heart muscle or the brain and transmitted to the children and the generations to come.
But this method is controversial because it involves the transfer of DNA from the parents to the egg donor, which means that the child will inherit the resulting small part of the genetic code of a third party.
The current law prevents scientists from laying eggs in such patients.
But the University and the Wellcome Trust and Newcastle announced the program at a cost of nine million dollars to further research laboratory to assess the safety of this technique.
The research aims to treatment of diseases transmitted through families through what is known as trans Balmottagdarat, the buildings, which supplies cells with energy.
Although 99.8% of our DNA, our attributes, including visual, equally gene from the father and mother and stored in the cell nucleus, the small part of them settled in the mitochondria and can only be transmitted by the mother.
It is noteworthy that defects in the mitochondria affect one in every two hundred children in Britain, which causes severe illness and is treatable, such as what is known Balanl muscle (which is a hereditary condition characterized by weak gradual loss of muscle) or ataxia (inability to coordinate movement muscle) each person in about 6500.
The researchers believe they have developed in the Newcastle method can prevent the transmission of this particular group of diseases and possibly eradicated within a generation.
Fear and warnedSaid Professor Doug Turnbull, who led the study, said "The important thing is that this could stop the disease completely. And if it is proven that this technology such as artificial insemination safe and effective as in the preliminary studies, I think we can prevent the transmission of these diseases altogether."
With regard to this technology, it includes taking an egg from the mother and the other from a donor, before removing the nucleus from the donor egg and replacing the nucleus of the mother, either before or after fertilization.
And the child will inherit the condition of the product here from his mother and father, but it will take DNA from the donor, which means that it will have genetic material from three people.
The head of the Wellcome Trust, Sir Mark and the Port, the effect of genetic inheritance of the DNA of a third person will be the least such as changing the batteries in the camera.
It is worth mentioning that the American researchers conducted similar studies on monkeys have resulted in healthy offspring, and experiments on mice showed that the genetic cases did not bequeath to future generations as well.
If approved technique for patients, treatment can be available in the British medical services for women who use either artificial insemination of available ova or cells donated from friends or family members.
However, such technology still received strong opposition from groups opposed to embryo research and the claim that genetic engineering could lead to serious flaws.
She described the Society for the Protection of children born of these experiences is as scary and unethical because it can lead to imbalances in growth.

Netherlands protests denouncing the Netanyahu visit






Nasreddin Digba - The Hague
Did not prevent the bitter cold and heavy rains of the hundreds of Dutch Parliament in The Hague, Netherlands The Dutch government to receive condemnation of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is visiting the Netherlands for two days in the search for international support for Israel's settlement policy.

Considered to Encamp that such a visit to a person involved in the crimes of humanity is like a stain on the conscience of the Dutch, as the government extends its hand to a government accused of killing the people and human rights activists from around the world.

The International Court in The Hague issued a ruling in 2004 against the construction of the separation wall built by Israel, and promised him illegal.

Wall componentsIn an interview with a member of the Senate, the former Anita Molnbald said of the island, she attended the rally to express opposition to the policy of the Dutch government in its support for Netanyahu, "I do not supervised by the Netherlands to receive the people devoted to apartheid by building a separation wall," and said that "despite the lack of respect Israel to the international resolutions, they receive all the hospitality in the Netherlands. "

The flap Turkish flag and the Palestinians together in the demonstration, the signal from the Turkish community in the Netherlands to an intermingling of Palestinian blood and Turkish history, and through one of those present, pointing to what it did Israel's violations of human rights and killed nine militants in a convoy of peace which was heading to Gaza.

The demonstrators also built a model for a barrier in front of Parliament, Department of demonstrators into two parts, in reference to what caused the separation wall by Israel in the Palestinian territories, to end the cooperation of the parties Basagt display wall.

And classified the Netherlands and one of the friends of Israel and its closest allies, and gain additional importance of this relationship at the time of the European Union intends to gradually take positions more critical of Israeli policies and attitudes.

As a young Palestinian who lives in the Netherlands, Mohammed Ali, who attended the demonstration, he says, "Unfortunately, we apply the policy of the Netherlands where their economic interest to the international conventions and human rights", adding that this trend of government offset growing Dutch populist approach supports the Palestinian cause.

For his part, said the Dutch assets of Syrian activist in the movement's Revolutionary Syrian Ibrahim Akkari said he attended the demonstration of his belief that the fate of the two peoples, the Syrian and Palestinian are inseparable, and added that resolving the issues in the Arab world and the success of the movement's Revolutionary it will lead necessarily to further support the popular west of the Palestinian cause.

MAS: Remove the breast tissue of industrial crime




Jean Claude Mas founder Ampelnt Protais poly (French)

Acknowledged founder of the French company took place in the international health scandal that he used silicone material is not authorized for use in breast tissue industry, but said the recommendation for women of France removed the "crime".
Jean-Claude Mas founder Polly Ampelnt Protais in an interview with Radio (RTL) on Wednesday he did not deny that the silicone gel homemade which was used is licensed by the regulatory bodies, and mocked the idea that it involves a health risk.
The MAS said that "there is no scientific or medical reason" to believe that the gel used by the industrial company to fill in the tissues was poisonous.
And attacked Diamond French Health Minister Xavier Bertrand, said, "decided this man (Bertrand) to compensate for the patients even if there is no medical reason to do so. Why pay the cost of removing tissue cultivated for women despite the presence of real danger in this surgery (removal) of this resolution a crime" .
The scandal erupted in December / January when the French government advised the 30 thousand women have undergone breast tissue culture produced by the company Poly Ampelnt Protais French removed, because of reports that are more susceptible to disruption of tissue shoddy medical.
The focus of attention on the death of a French woman with cancer last year she had undergone surgery for tissue culture.
Did not do countries such as Britain, Brazil and Argentina also sold its tissues, as did France.
France has said it will pay the cost of removing the tissue's poly Ampelnt Protais cultivated for French women, and the cost of new implants for women who had put tissue after breast cancer.
The company has sold French - once the third largest manufacturer of breast tissue in the world - controversial breast tissue to about 300 thousand women all over the world, before the health authorities closed down in March / March 2010, the company is now bankrupt.Health officials say that the company used non-medical silicone in their tissues without disclosing it to health authorities.
