yeah, we saw what happened with that korean genius cloning cells

slashdot ? ahaha

cloning cells? not hard.

no he claimed to have cloned an entire dog. disgraceful - not only to Korea but to the entire scientific community! It was all over the magazines.

similar story broke in Canada on the CBC with Dr.Chandra and his decades of fraud. This man was nominated for the Nobel Prize. but he bullshitted his experiments on nutrition, and pocketed shitloads of money.

I still want to feel that these are representative of only very few brazen people who slip through the cracks of peer-review. but makes you think. how about the insignificant stuff where the backlash wouldn't be as large. for starters: that's why you don't read stuff from the garbage journals that just allow grad students who've been pursuing their PhDs for far too long (and going insane and destitute) to graduate - and that probably includes Slashdot - which isn't even a ... what is it anyway?

yeah the above two cases were well accepted - but I still feel they are the exception rather than the rule. (did I go off on a tangent....?)

you know that case i'm talking about. it wasnt about the dog. it was about the stem cells.

understory · « **Reply #11 on:** February 09, 2006, 10:59:26 AM »

oh yes, you are right about that. I am mistaken.
it was the cloning of human embryos and extracting stem cells from them. (before the dog thing)
I am not sure about his dog, which was huge news last year.
if i can be an absolute ass: it's still not "cloning cells" I mean: I can and have cloned cells.

Just hope people don't see this as an advantage to fuck without protection.

"I can't get pregnant now because I take the morning after pill"

"I can get pills for clomidea" (however u spell it)

"There's a cure for aids, so I don't have to worry about that either"

There's plently other STI's and some are very fatal. AIDs isn't the only STI killer.

are they not STD's?

and kilamite is right, people might just see this as a big fat safety net. but in the tradeoff curing aids is a little more important.
