>After 46 years of marriage, 72-year-old Daljinder Kaur finally gave birth to a healthy baby boy in April, after two years of fertility treatment in Haryana. She is one of oldest women to give birth in India. But some medical experts say she is ‘too old’.
>In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF), donated eggs and other fertility technologies might have opened up pregnancy to a lot of women, but their decision still attracts suspicion and controversy. For Dr Gunjan Kacker, senior IVF specialist at Aveya Fertility in Delhi, a late-in-life pregnancy is not a question of medical possibility but of unclear consequences. Hence she stresses there should be a cut-off age for women trying to be a mother.
>“Women should have children before it is too late,” she says, “Mainly because it could increase the risk of health complications for the child, and it would be unfair on the child to have old parents, who may not live long enough to see them grow up.”
>Dr Laxmi Aggarwal, a gynaecologist from Kolkata, believes it was “unnatural” for women to have babies after a certain age. (Read menopause.)
>Although, there is no legal age restriction for couples who want to have IVF treatment in India, the state-funded Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) advises against implanting embryos in women over 50.

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/14/science/synthetic-human-genome.html
>Scientists are now contemplating the fabrication of a human genome, meaning they would use chemicals to manufacture all the DNA contained in human chromosomes.
>The prospect is spurring both intrigue and concern in the life sciences community because it might be possible, such as through cloning, to use a synthetic genome to create human beings without biological parents.
>While the project is still in the idea phase, and also involves efforts to improve DNA synthesis in general, it was discussed at a closed-door meeting on Tuesday at Harvard Medical School in Boston. The nearly 150 attendees were told not to contact the news media or to post on Twitter during the meeting.
>Organizers said the project could have a big scientific payoff and would be a follow-up to the original Human Genome Project, which was aimed at reading the sequence of the three billion chemical letters in the DNA blueprint of human life. The new project, by contrast, would involve not reading, but rather writing the human genome — synthesizing all three billion units from chemicals.
>But such an attempt would raise numerous ethical issues. Could scientists create humans with certain kinds of traits, perhaps people born and bred to be soldiers? Or might it be possible to make copies of specific people?
>“Would it be O.K., for example, to sequence and then synthesize Einstein’s genome?” Drew Endy, a bioengineer at Stanford, and Laurie Zoloth, a bioethicist at Northwestern University, wrote in an essay criticizing the proposed project. “If so how many Einstein genomes should be made and installed in cells, and who would get to make them?”
...
>>44521
>Dr. Endy, though invited, said he deliberately did not attend the meeting at Harvard because it was not being opened to enough people and was not giving enough thought to the ethical implications of the work.
>George Church, a professor of genetics at Harvard Medical School and an organizer of the proposed project, said there had been a misunderstanding. The project was not aimed at creating people, just cells, and would not be restricted to human genomes, he said. Rather it would aim to improve the ability to synthesize DNA in general, which could be applied to various animals, plants and microbes.
>“They’re painting a picture which I don’t think represents the project,” Dr. Church said in an interview.
>He said the meeting was closed to the news media, and people were asked not to tweet because the project organizers, in an attempt to be transparent, had submitted a paper to a scientific journal. They were therefore not supposed to discuss the idea publicly before publication. He and other organizers said ethical aspects have been amply discussed since the beginning.
>The project was initially called HGP2: The Human Genome Synthesis Project, with HGP referring to the Human Genome Project. An invitation to the meeting at Harvard said that the primary goal “would be to synthesize a complete human genome in a cell line within a period of 10 years.”
...
>But by the time the meeting was held, the name had been changed to “HGP-Write: Testing Large Synthetic Genomes in Cells.”
>The project does not yet have funding, Dr. Church said, though various companies and foundations would be invited to contribute, and some have indicated interest. The federal government will also be asked. A spokeswoman for the National Institutes of Health declined to comment, saying the project was in too early a stage.
>Besides Dr. Church, the organizers include Jef Boeke, director of the institute for systems genetics at NYU Langone Medical Center, and Andrew Hessel, a self-described futurist who works at the Bay Area software company Autodesk and who first proposed such a project in 2012.
>Scientists and companies can now change the DNA in cells, for example, by adding foreign genes or changing the letters in the existing genes. This technique is routinely used to make drugs, such as insulin for diabetes, inside genetically modified cells, as well as to make genetically modified crops. And scientists are now debating the ethics of new technology that might allow genetic changes to be made in embryos.
>But synthesizing a gene, or an entire genome, would provide the opportunity to make even more extensive changes in DNA.
>For instance, companies are now using organisms like yeast to make complex chemicals, like flavorings and fragrances. That requires adding not just one gene to the yeast, like to make insulin, but numerous genes in order to create an entire chemical production process within the cell. With that much tinkering needed, it can be easier to synthesize the DNA from scratch.
...
>Right now, synthesizing DNA is difficult and error-prone. Existing techniques can reliably make strands that are only about 200 base pairs long, with the base pairs being the chemical units in DNA. A single gene can be hundreds or thousands of base pairs long. To synthesize one of those, multiple 200-unit segments have to be spliced together.
>But the cost and capabilities are rapidly improving. Dr. Endy of Stanford, who is a co-founder of a DNA synthesis company called Gen9, said the cost of synthesizing genes has plummeted from $4 per base pair in 2003 to 3 cents now. But even at that rate, the cost for three billion letters would be $90 million. He said if costs continued to decline at the same pace, that figure could reach $100,000 in 20 years.
>J. Craig Venter, the genetic scientist, synthesized a bacterial genome consisting of about a million base pairs. The synthetic genome was inserted into a cell and took control of that cell. While his first synthetic genome was mainly a copy of an existing genome, Dr. Venter and colleagues this year synthesized a more original bacterial genome, about 500,000 base pairs long.
>Dr. Boeke is leading an international consortium that is synthesizing the genome of yeast, which consists of about 12 million base pairs. The scientists are making changes, such as deleting stretches of DNA that do not have any function, in an attempt to make a more streamlined and stable genome.
>But the human genome is more than 200 times as large as that of yeast and it is not clear if such a synthesis would be feasible.

>The documents show that US corporations will be granted unprecedented powers over any new public health or safety regulations to be introduced in future.

>In Germany, the newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung reported that the documents showed that the United States was threatening to prevent the easing of export controls on European cars in an attempt to compel Europe to buy more American agricultural products.
>The French newspaper Le Monde, which has also reviewed the documents, said there were no signs that European negotiators were ready to make concessions, and that the documents did not suggest that the Europeans desire or need the deal more than the Americans do.
>According to The Guardian, which reported that it was provided the leaked documents by Greenpeace, the documents reveal “irreconcilable” differences in several areas: the use of animal testing for cosmetics; efforts by the Americans to give corporations like BASF, Nestlé and Coca-Cola more say in trade talks; and, potentially, an effort to expand the number of genetically modified foods that are sold in Europe.

If only King George III could have kept his shit together 240 years ago then none of this would be happening.
>In her mid-30s, Monica Kelsey learned her life began in tragedy. Her mother, at the age of 17, had been attacked, raped and left for dead. In the aftermath of her assault, she decided to have an abortion, still illegal in 1972. But at the underground clinic she had a change of heart, according to Kelsey's autobiography, and continued with her pregnancy. Later, she would abandon her infant when Kelsey was two hours old.
>More than four decades later, Kelsey is now a volunteer firefighter and anti-abortion advocate. She's among those leading the charge to install climate-controlled baby boxes — places for mothers to anonymously deposit their unwanted children — across Indiana, the first of which were placed at the end of April.
>"This is not criminal," Kelsey recently told the AP. "This is legal. We don't want to push women away."
>The boxes work a bit like a cross between a library book drop-off and a people-pod you might find in a Japanese capsule hotel. Padded and kept at comfortable temperature, the small box automatically alerts emergency responders within a minute of a baby being deposited. Kelsey told the IndyStar that the incubator locks after a baby is placed inside, and any baby left in one will be retrieved within five minutes.
>The first receptacle was recently embedded in the brick wall of a fire station in the Indiana town of Woodburn, near the Ohio border. Another box followed in Michigan City. Each box costs between $1,500 and $2,000, according to Kelsey; Indiana's Knights of Columbus will fund the initial batch of 100.
>Baby boxes are legal thanks to so-called safe haven legislation, also known colloquially as Baby Moses laws. In 1999, then-governor of Texas George W. Bush signed the first Baby Moses bill into law, in the wake of 13 dead infants found in Houston trash bins.

Seems like a good idea to me
Huh. Bush signed that. Interesting.
I think in the Netherlands or Germany you get to leave behind info as the parent which is given to the child at a later age
>>42944
I like the lady and the sentiment behind the idea, but why boxes? Why can't this be handled in delivery rooms or through midwifes?
I don't think the boxes are child abuse, but I doubt the process is actually anonymous, and I'm sure the person checking the boxes would also be better employed picking up the children from hospitals, homes, and public places.

>An 11-year-old African-American boy is being charged with a hate crime in connection with a fire which was lit on a Jewish school bus in Brooklyn. The bus had been parked in front of the Beth Rivkah Hebrew School for girls when a group of children set fire to it.
>A surveillance tape released by CrownHeights.info found that a approximately seven children had been involved with the arson incident on Sunday. The video shows several children boarding the bus – which had been left open and unattended – with pieces of cardboard in hand. The kids rush out as flames appear in the front of the bus.
>So far, only an 11-year-old boy has been arrested in relation to the crime. He is currently facing hate crime charges, despite the lack of Jewish writing on the bus. He has been charged with criminal mischief as a hate crime and arson as a hate crime. The attack took place in Crown Heights, Brooklyn – an area notorious for its history of tension between the Black community and the Jewish community.
>Chani Klein, a parent at Beth Rivkah, told the New York Daily News, “It’s terrible,” and added, "I don't know why they would do that. Maybe they were just bored, or maybe it really was about hate. Either way they blew up a bus. They need help."
>No one was injured in the fire, but residents are concerned about what they feel is growing hostility between Crown Heights’ Hasidic residents and the black population. One Crown Heights man, Chaim Rosenstein, told the Daily News “It's very sad that there was just enough mischief and possibly bias and hate pent up inside an 11-year-old,” adding "People are very shocked. They're concerned.”

That being said the punishment for the arson should be harsh.

Hello,
My name is Ted Trapp from Cincinnati, Ohio and I recently commented in an article by "Fusion" magazine regarding a hunger strike at San Francisco State University citing that their cause to build support for the ethnic studies program was a joke. I was met with nothing but blatant liberal bias and slander when I am just a humble guy trying to go to work and drink tequila on weekends.
I was told that I could find support here as well as like minded individuals.

>Prime Minister David Cameron is struggling to convince voters he is telling the truth about why Britain should stay in the European Union and his main "Out" rival Boris Johnson is doing a better job, an opinion poll found.
>Only 21 percent of respondents in the survey carried out by polling firm ComRes agreed that Cameron was more likely to tell the truth about the EU than Johnson while 45 percent said Johnson was more believable than Cameron.
>With less than six weeks to go until the June 23 referendum on Britain's EU membership and voters evenly split on how they intend to cast their ballots, the rival camps have stepped up campaigning.
>Cameron has warned of the risk of a hit to Britain's economy from a decision to leave the world's biggest trade bloc. Johnson says Britain would flourish outside the EU if allowed to make its own rules, strike its own trade deals and spend its EU budget contributions at home.
>The ComRes poll, conducted for the Sunday Mirror newspaper and the Independent website, found 33 percent of respondents believed they would be better off if Britain stayed in the EU, only slightly more than the 29 percent who thought they would be better off if Britain left.
>ComRes interviewed 2,043 adults online on Wednesday and Thursday.
>Bank of England Governor Mark Carney warned on Thursday of the risk of a sharp slowdown in Britain's economy, and possibly a short recession, if the country left the EU.
>The ComRes poll did not ask voters how they intended to vote on June 23.
Looks like the UK staying in the EU isn't looking great at this point- what do you guys think?
A while ago I talked to some guy about greece, its debt issues, and the euro. Think it was on /pol/ or /biz/. Pretty much what he said was that getting on the euro was a long term bad decision to avoid a short term disaster.
Do you think staying in the EU is similar for the UK?

The International Olympic Committee has acknowledged the grave charges and deflected blame to The World Anti-Doping Agency, but experts agree WADA is underfunded. In a separate investigation WADA just suspended Kenya's domestic drug testing.
The International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) Council will ultimately decide if Russian athletes can participate in Rio when they meet next month.
http://www.wsj.com/articles/russian-doping-charges-put-ioc-on-defensive-1463094414
The athletes have responded by calling the accusations an absurd "april joke" and by attacking the whistle blower.
In the OP article the whistle blower, (Rodchenkov) is quoted as saying,
>All athletes are like small children. They’ll put anything you give them into their mouths.
A Kremlin spokesman denied high-level government involvement and characterized Rodchenkov as a libelous turncoat.
Following Sochi Rodchenkov received the Russian Order of Friendship for Putin personally.
