“I was shocked to find the following article concerning the cloning of animals for disease experimentation.  It would appear that funding research firms provides for a cause beyond the original scientific reasoning behind gene cell therapies.

As I read I wonder what is next. Rats & Mice have been used for experimental treatments for years as the subjects got larger. You read about Pigs, Sheep etc. and now dogs that are cloned. Were the dogs cloned specifically to ward off the “ASPCA” or other agencies by justifying the experimentation with a cloned animal? Absolutely. However! I see this as another example of cruelty to animals, no matter the explanation.”

I am beyond raged!  How about you?  Leave a comment.

The scientists behind the first cloned dog have created a litter of cloned puppies which glow a bright red colour when held under ultraviolet light.

The South Korean-based research team took skin cells from a beagle, inserted fluorescent genes from a coral-like sea creature, and then put them into eggs.

Those eggs were implanted into the womb of a surrogate mother.

The researchers have called the first born Ruppy, which they say is short for Ruby Puppy.

Ruppy’s nails and stomach look red to the naked eye but under a UV light, Ruppy glows a bright red colour.

The head of the research team, Professor Lee Byeong-chun, says it is an achievement that goes beyond just the glowing novelty.

He hopes it will help cure human diseases such as Parkinson’s.

“We have succeeded in cloning dogs with gene transformation by inserting a special gene in the cell,” he said.

“Even though we inserted a transgenic gene in them, if we insert human disease-related gene in them, we can use them as great model to study diseases.” (continue reading…)

Wasteful, Needless spending with hard earned tax dollars totally sends me off an edge. “The Rage” was both shocked and appalled while reading the following article. What gives the Social Security Administration the right to spend valued dollars on lavish retreats like these anyway? The administration is obviously under scrutiny, hence the threats noted below but then decides to reward these stressed employees with tax payer money. Let them use employee benefits and seek outside counseling if the stress is that considerable.

In the midst of the nation’s dire financial crisis and astounding unemployment rate, the federal government spent $700,000 to treat officials of one struggling agency to a lavish three-day conference at an upscale resort.

U.S. taxpayers treated hundreds of Social Security Administration employees (and their relatives) to a festive retreat at one of Arizona’s fanciest hotels, the Biltmore Resort & Spa in Phoenix, which is described as a desert jewel with a golf course, dozens of acres of lush gardens and swimming pools.

Besides the fancy lodging, the getaway included airfare, hotel entertainment, dancers, motivational speakers and food, according to news reports. There was also an evening excursion to a local casino. The agency says such meetings are essential and that the Phoenix jaunt was just one in a series of such regional meetings at an annual cost of more than $1 million.

The purpose of this latest desert oasis getaway, according to Social Security Administration brass, was to master the art of reducing stress due to a growing number of death threats against agency employees. No details were offered on who exactly has threatened their lives, however.

The retreat outraged several lawmakers, including top members of the House Ways and Means Committee who demanded an explanation for the trip in a letter to Social Security Commissioner Michael Astrue. The federal legislators ask why “At a time when millions of Americans are out of work and having to do more with less,” it decided to put on a taxpayer-funded $700,000 motivational conference at the prestigious Arizona Biltmore Resort & Spa.

Oh, make it stop! Jon and Kate are apparently about as smug a fake couple as they come. Two individuals on TV arguing about life and erroneous behaviors surrounded by children. I am so sick of reality airings about fat people, celebrity rehab and reality couples I could vomit. I do NOT watch this show and do NOT have to based on what I hear and read.

Normally I look forward to listening to my morning radio show program that sponsors news and celebrity gossip according to who’s who and what’s new in their lives. For the last several days however its been covered up with the latest on Jon and Kate. Who cares about this couple and what makes them important anyway? They came from nothing, are nothing and will continue to be nothing but rich overpaid celebrity wannabees. It is fact you could take any couple in America, put a camera in there life and as long as they have children and argue or mutter “divorce” they too would become rich and famous. (continue reading…)

Have Money, Success and no time for children during the younger years? Solution: Buy one!

Here we go again as I stated last month. An irresponsible mother seeking IVF treatments reaching an irrevocable path. Dr’s and experts alike agree that the outcome could prove to be dangerous.  Hopefully the mother will live another 20-30 years for the child and the child will not grow up depressed and vengeful of her decision.  It’s not up to me, I just seek rationality.

I have to admit people’s private lives are there own to live but when it affects an innocent child I cannot find an understanding! When does it become right for another to decide a young ones fate or future? Who gets to shift life’s balance once its provided out of a natural state. The Doctors and IVF’s clinic’s certainly do not.

I understand In Vitro Fertilization can correct certain medical conditions but a moralistic approach should be taken and understood. The technology should not out rule society’s dilemma.

I know how Raged I feel.  How about you?  Send a private email to “RAGE” if commenting publicly concerns you.

A businesswoman who at 66 is to become Britain’s oldest mother says she does not have to defend her decision.

Elizabeth Adeney, of Lidgate, Suffolk, is eight months’ pregnant after undergoing IVF treatment in Ukraine, according to the Sunday Mirror.

She told the paper her age was not important, claiming it is “how I feel inside” that matters.

Ms Adeney said she felt as young as 39 at times and was fitter than some of her younger employees.
