About face: Part IV Stem Cells � A Changed Personal Course
The Seoul Times, South Korea -
Summary: When one considers that, 1) ES cells from any source are unlikely to shed any light on the most prevalent causes of human disease – lifestyle and the environment. 2) ES cells from cloned embryos contain widespread, random defects and mitochondria that do not match the donor. 3) Cloning research will divert "astronomical" resources away from studying active causes of disease in adults, such as autoimmune defects in Type I (Juvenile) Diabetes. 4) The theory that studying defective ES cells will lead to cures in adults may be faulty. It seems highly impractical to use extensive public resource to pursue ES cell research as a research tool.

Holocaust survivors face increased cancer risk
New Scientist (subscription), UK -
Barchana hopes that the study will lead to greater awareness of the cancer risks faced by Holocaust survivors, and improved detection. One reason for the higher death rates may be that many survivors get diagnosed later, so recovery rates are worse, he says. �Perhaps they have had so much suffering in their lives that they cannot face up to the possibility of cancer.�

CHILDREN FACING DEADLY HEART CONDITIONS
Public Agenda, Ghana -
As pressure builds up in the lungs, the flow of blood from the left ventricle, through the VSD, into the right ventricle, and on to the lungs will diminish. This helps preserve the function of the lungs, but causes yet another problem. Blood flow within the heart goes from areas where the pressure is high to areas where the pressure is low. If a ventricular septal defect is not repaired, and lung disease begins to occur, pressure in the right side of the heart will eventually exceed pressure in the left. In this instance, it will be easier for oxygen-poor (blue) blood to flow from the right ventricle, through the VSD, into the left ventricle, and on to the body. When this happens, the body does not receive enough oxygen in the bloodstream to meet its needs.
