Scientists recently announced a bold step in the enduring quest to create artificial life by producing a living cell powered by man-made DNA. While such work can evoke images of Frankenstein-like scientific tinkering, it also is exciting hopes that it could eventually lead to new fuels, better ways to clean polluted water, faster vaccine production and more.

But what are the legalities of this concept, there are time and again question raised whether cloning should be allowed where embryos which are form of a life is used in these experiments are killed...which has come to a strong objection by many ethicists all over the world, but then scientists say that there are huge advantages if cloning is given a complete go all over the world....but many believe Scientists are trying to play god and are going against nature..

I'm agree with you Bindu... It is good that scientist researching so many things and we had proud our scientist.But I want to say here that nature has it's own rules and we don't have rites to break that rules other wise nature will show the result.

Harmony, that's the word which is key to our future. What we have to know is not the Concept of Artificial life, the Purpose which can make it harmful or beneficial. If not for our efforts to understand the processes of nature, we could have been...

This discovery will change everything. Thanks to this discovery we can now compare us with GOD. Its our approach to become perfect and I don't think its unethical use can surpass the benefits we are going to reap in the future. Few laws, a...

While creating new life scientists are not playing God rather they are creating a revolutionary implication for how to see life. These people are ecstatic about what they are doing, since they provide one of the clear alternatives to burning oil...

It is estimated that an average person has 8 defective genes inside him. People with defective genes will develop sick in spite of their keeping good health otherwise. With Human Cloning Technology it is possible to have genes without any defects.

I dont think we can. Because we dont even know what is life from the perspective of science. Building life from basic molecules is way beyond impossible. Our current approaches such as genetic engineering are crude unreliable. I think our human...

If you are concerned with life than answer is yes as we produce plants from a single genetically modified cell.Plants also make a full life cycle. Similarly if embryogenic stem cells are treated properly any animal can be produced too from its...

Rather than taking moralistic or ethical stance on this issue, why does one not recognize the fact that science is all about inquisitiveness, invention and discovery. If life can be created by this, so be it. Kudos to the ones who dare to dream...

Tips for Happiness in Daily Life 1) Endeavor to change the way you look at things. Always look at the bright side. The mind may drag you to think about negativity and difficulties. Don't let it. Look at the good and positive side of every situation. 2) Think of solutions, not problems. 3) Listen to relaxing, uplifting music. 4) Watch funny comedies that make you laugh. 5) Each day, devote some time to reading a few pages of an inspiring book or article. 6) Watch your thoughts. Whenever you catch yourself thinking negative thoughts, start thinking of pleasant things. 7) Always look at what you have done and not at what you haven't.

W elcome to our ‘MahaManan Kendra’ ( MahaManan education center). We think, customary (formal) academic (school – college etc.) education is not sufficient for true development of human beings. For that, we need such an uncustomary (non-formal) basic self-development education which can help us to be fully developed human beings. We want to establish an excellent –incomparable system of essential education for true universal self-development, world wide– that is ‘MahaDharma’ –the ideal way of better living –the way to better life. ‘MahaManan’ is the practical aspect of ‘MahaDharma’. We are benefited and we want also you be benefited with us! If you are interested in this program, please join us and extend your helping hands. 'MahaManan' that is to say-- 'Maha Atma-Vikas' with 'Maha-Yoga' education (the excellent true universal self-developmental education) is not only some different from other Yoga and self-developmental procedure, but something special. 'Maha Atma-Vikas'...
