Code For Life (Part 4): Pandora’s Box Of Genetics – The Future Of Genetics: Therapeutic Cloning & Stem Cell Research. TheCassiopeia Project – making science simple! The Cassiopeia Project is an effort to make high quality science videos available to everyone. If you can visualize it, then understanding is not far behind. Subscribe to Science & Reason: • www.youtube.com • www.youtube.com • www.youtube.com Code for Life: Beginning more than three and a half billion years ago, a tiny, primitive molecule encoded instructions deep within itself. Then it passed these instructions on to its children, who passed it to their children and so on – all the way down through time to all living things today. The human genome, written in a code of just four letters, tells us who we really are – and that generates many questions! Is this process of natural selection coming to an end? Should we choose the best that is in us for our children? If so, who gets to decide what is meant by “the best that is in us”? From amino acids in space to human genes in corn … THIS is the story. 1) The Human Genome: www.youtube.com 2) The DNA Instruction Manual: www.youtube.com 3) Genetic Disorders And Diseases: www.youtube.com 4) Pandora’s Box Of Genetics: www.youtube.com www.cassiopeiaproject.com .

lol kudos…. something that must be true due to the laws of large numbers… being compared to something imaginary…..
not bad tho… good of u to come up with one.

science test things in the natural world not supernatural.

Thanks for posting this – it’s clear and concise

Yea. Pseudoscience test things in the supernatural phenomena. So BOTH are needful.
July 1st, 2009 at 5:53 am
Pseudoscience by it’s own definition is not science. Pseudo means false, fake or not real. I need to contact a friend but I can’t use my phone because he is a supernatural unicorn. I think if I use something that looks like a phone but dosen’t work I might be able to reach him. Sprinkle some pixie dust for me.

It also doesn’t mean that it does.
Welcome to the other side of the coin.
July 1st, 2009 at 8:26 pm
That’s a silly statement.
July 2nd, 2009 at 10:07 am
It doesn’t mean FAKE it means FALSE pseudo ir FALSE or PRETENDING. You dipshit.
July 2nd, 2009 at 10:11 am
I have false in my definition.
July 2nd, 2009 at 10:22 am
Ok I stop arguing with total sceptics. It’s just useless thing. Just be cool and have a great life.
July 3rd, 2009 at 2:51 am
funny… thats what we are arguing… albeit for a different reason… you do only have one life you know… and once its gone… thats it.

Hello:)
I am a college student from Japan and for my sociology class, I made a survey regarding stem cell controversy. Survey only consists of 10qs and I hope everyone who interested about this topic will take it. It should take only a few minutes. Survey will be open till 7/8. Please go to my YouTube account and click a link to survey because I cannot post a link here.
Thank you for your cooperation.

haha, freakin BS, a patten helps cures of illnesses help people? How does the patten do anything helpful? Other than make things cost more.

GNU/DNA? lolwut

I can’t think of any abuse of stemcells. Maybe abuse of viral or bacterial genetic information. but I honestly can’t think of one reason not to go after adult stem cell research.

you do get killer drones if you put electronic control devices in their brains! :insert cheesy plot twist sound here:
July 21st, 2009 at 5:06 pm
A patten is something you wear on your feet, a patent is the word you’re looking for.
and patents help protect the inventor. They promote people to do research and development by guaranteeing that their inventions can only be marketed by them, promising a return in the way of profits or services. If inventors aren’t guaranteed that return, then there’s no incentive to do the hard work when someone can steal it and/or your profits.

Oh, just like how art work didn’t exist before copyright laws.
July 21st, 2009 at 5:30 pm
yeah, but back then it was really hard to copy things, yet a process or a mechanism was relatively the easiest things to replicate. So patents were designed to protect things in that sort of slow moving system.
nowadays patents may seem to do more harm than good because they’re not designed to be used in this quick changing easy to copy media environment. and unfortunately legislators don’t seem to be bold enough to make the changes necessary for them to be effective like they used to be.

Which brings us partly to our problem. Still, though I think if you find out something amazing that you should get money for it, you shouldn’t be able to rape people on the pricing of things just because you own the rights to it.
That comes down to actually getting someone with some business ability to help you take your great idea and make money from it. If you are not smart enough to do that, I am not sure you have the right to make the money from it.
That is just my opinion though.
July 21st, 2009 at 6:15 pm
and the bigger problem is that this sort of thing can mostly only retain within opinion, because testing every alternative route or slightly different functionary possibility of patents would be a near unachievable process. so we have to take a guess somewhere and stick with that since changing these laws is both time consuming and expensive.
July 21st, 2009 at 6:25 pm
Is it more expensive than letting the RIAA run around raping little kids? Then also going where ever they have to to go after pirate bay who did absolutely nothing illegal, and nothing Google doesn’t already do.
Somehow cases going after the exact same thing, that will be ended the exact same way, get tried as separate cases instead of one case, then split off when there is an exception or difference. We have no efficiency in our legal system, and idiots in our government.
