stemcellresearch.org - Founding Statement The existing law on human embryonic research is a reflection of universally accepted principles governing experiments on human subjects–principles reflected in the Nuremberg Code, the World Medical Association’s Declaration of Helsinki, the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights, and many other statements. These experiments were and are driven by a crass utilitarian ethos which results in the creation of a “sub-class” of human beings, allowing the rights of the few to be sacrificed for the sake of potential benefit to the many. Accordingly, members of the human species who cannot give informed consent for research should not be the subjects of an experiment unless they personally may benefit from it or the experiment carries no significant risk of harming them. www.stemcellresearch.org /statement/statement.htm

The Stanford Prison Experiment: Still powerful after all these years (1/97) His experiment has been criticized by some social scientists, as was the obedience experiment of his high school classmate Stanley Milgram, for its treatment of human research subjects. She had walked into the experiment late and therefore was more likely to be startled than those who had been planning it for months and observing it for five days, she said. She was involved in a romantic relationship with Zimbardo, the experiment's principal investigator, and not working for him as a graduate student or colleague. www.stanford.edu /dept/news/relaged/970108prisonexp.html   (2586 words)

A Study on Human Reliability in Coping with Transients Using Research Simulator Further improvement of human reliability is expected to maintain and improve the safety of NPP. Therefore, accumulation of data on tendencies of human behavior and their background factors on NPP operation is needed. Behavioral data on human operator in coping with various transients was collected and analyzed, by means of simulator study. www.nupec.or.jp /database/paper/paper_12/p12_human/R12-08-11.htm   (2586 words)

jd072404.htm But the development of that body type also was the work of alien technology that had been going on for millions of years in human time. Donahue believes other alien races also were involved in trying to develop and genetically alter humanoids during this same period. We all bear the DNA of Lucifer, the name of the particular alien that physically came to Earth and physically altered a chosen primate into a human. www.100megsfree4.com /farshores/jd072404.htm   (2586 words)

Wilhelm Dilthey: Classical Sociological Theorist The clerk asked me, "Were you just speaking with someone?" I knew exactly what he meant; but, as a breaching experiment I decided to be strictly logical, as one would be in a court of law. Ethno methodological breaching experiments have made it very clear how finely tuned our cultural and sub-cultural understanding is. If we deviate even slightly we can cause people to be very upset. Few academics would deny that it is sometimes useful to study genes without reference to the human meaning of the genes; we can safely assume that human meaning is not a part of the experience of the genes. www.uoguelph.ca /~vincent/hbakker/Dilthey.htm   (2586 words)

Life Sciences Program Tasks and Bibliography for FY 2000 Details An example of such a scenario could be the performance of an experiment in a remote and difficult to reach arctic location when the human expert back at the lab is unavailable, lacking the latest information, or is not consulted by those conducting the experiment. While artificial intelligence and expert systems may serve as powerful tools for assisting experiments in space, the technology incorporated into a system such as [PI] is also relevant to any experiment situation where the Principal Investigator is physically remote from those conducting the experiment. Expert systems, which capture heuristic aspects of human knowledge and human methods to respond appropriately to unusual situations, have a flexibility that is highly desirable in circumstances where an invariably predictable course of action/response does not exist. peer1.nasaprs.com /cfpro/peer_review/ltb1_00.cfm?id=154   (655 words)

On Omega Numbers and the Omniscience of Pi If that is the case, then Pi might still encapsulate the sum of all human knowledge, since the sum of all human knowledge is certainly finite. By this we mean that pi encodes in its digits the totality of human knowledge, past, present, and future--and probably more.... While Pi is comprised of an infinite number of decimal digits, I have seen no proof that these digits do not repeat. www.geocities.com /SoHo/Exhibit/8033/enlightened/omnipi.html   (1513 words)

Delos SF: Robert J. Sawyer Well, THE TERMINAL EXPERIMENT is a very human novel, and it is, quite literally about the human heart -- or soul -- in conflict with itself; the main character of the novel ends up face-to-face with an artificial-intelligence simulation of his own all-too-fallible human soul. FRAMESHIFT is a novel very much like THE TERMINAL EXPERIMENT, set in the present day and dealing with some of the moral quandaries presented by genetics research. THE TERMINAL EXPERIMENT is set in Toronto, Canada, in the year 2011 -- just fifteen years from now. www.delos.fantascienza.com /ie/sawyer.html   (1513 words)

The Sontaran Experiment (4B) On Earth the Doctor discovers that Styre, a Sontaran field major, is conducting cruel experiments on Human captives people from one of Earth's colonies, stranded on Earth since their ship was vaporized after answering a fake mayday signal. Novelized as "Doctor Who and the Sontaran Experiment" by Ian Marter (0 426 20049 7) first published by W H Allen (now Virgin Publishing Ltd) in 1978 with cover by Roy Knipe.

EI > Reviews > Das Experiment (2002) Das Experiment is a chilling look into the human psyche and the frightening capacity normal human beings have of becoming shockingly cruel and inhuman through subjection to extreme environments and extreme situations. He decides to investigate and discovers that the experiment involves dividing 2 groups of men randomly into prisoners and prison guards, placing them in a simulated prison inside the university where their reactions will be studied by the doctors conducting the experiment. Eventually the experiment goes completely out of control even for the doctors and what happens in the last 30 minutes or so of the movie is brutal, dark, and shocking. www.einsiders.com /reviews/archives/dasexperiment.php   (1039 words)

A Bird Flu Reassortment Experiment Under Natural Conditions A second set of experiments which infect the same cell with H5N1 and a human virus is more "natural", but many combinations of reassortants and recombinants are theoretically possible. "experiment" uses WSN/33 as the human virus and a series of related H9N2 Korean viruses as the avian source. Thus the "natural" experiments show that many combinations are possible involving reshuffling of whole genes (reassortment) and creation of new genes (recombination). www.recombinomics.com /News/01260502/Reassortment_Experiment.html   (646 words)

Little Elian or Little Alien? In these films, we discovered that alien human hybrids tend to be total sex fiends with very large breasts which are shamelessly revealed at the slightest provocation (an instinctual defense mechanism, no doubt). True, it is always tempting for a government to retain a live alien specimen for research, genetic experimentation, and various forms of unspeakable debauchery. Furthermore, don't be surprised if it turns out these adorable aliens feast on human life force - aliens are known to do precisely that. www2.staff.sbc.edu /gaingber/circling/articles/04.00/elianalien.html   (531 words)

Guardian Unlimited Special reports UK to clone human cells Cloning human embryos for therapeutic purposes was made legal by an amendment to the Human Embryology Act. The first human embryo was cloned in South Korea in February when scientists used 242 eggs harvested from 16 volunteers to create more than 30 embryos. Cloning humans for reproductive purposes - in other words to use the technology to create carbon copies of people - is still outlawed. www.guardian.co.uk /genes/article/0,2763,1237768,00.html   (602 words)

The Whale-Watching-Web: Cetacean Videography--Films, Videos, Visual CDs, DVDs, Television Programs, Computers Games, Online Clips The Janus Experiment, which used computers to create a third language comprehendable by both humans and dolphins, is also described in detail.

Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment (WOVOCA.com - Earth Mother Crying!) The injections were part of a group of experiments to determine how plutonium courses through the human body. Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment (WOVOCA.com - Earth Mother Crying!) Scientists and science journalists pointed out that some of the highly publicized experiments had long ago been the subject of technical journal articles, even press accounts, and were old news; other commentators countered that, for most of the public, articles in technical journals might as well be secret. www.wovoca.com /controversies-human-experimentation-tuskegee-syphilis.htm   (602 words)

Ayreon - Satan Stole My Teddybear The Final Experiment is definitely recommended towards those progressive metal fans who truly enjoy an excess of everything and this is one of the rare crossover albums that will appeal to those who aren't so nuts about overblown melodic rock/metal. Apparently in 2084 the human race finds itself on the brink of self-destruction and some savvy quantum scientists try a last ditch attempt to warn the human race of its own immolation by sending messages backwards in time to a blind minstrel, who so happens to be named Ayreon. The scale of his Final Experiment in 1995 set the stage for the grandly epic Into the Electric Castle. www.ssmt-reviews.com /db/searchrev.php?artistID=112&showReview=true   (210 words)

Clinical Laboratory Science: Health education strategy in the control of urinary schistosomiasis Schistosomiasis, like the majority of the parasitic diseases, is influenced: 1) by human behaviour, mainly water use practices and indiscriminate urination and defecation, and 2) by failure to take advantage of available screening services or to comply with medical treatment. Health education intervention was utilized in Gounougou (experiment 1) and Ouro-Doukoudje (experiment 2), and was aimed at promoting and reinforcing health behaviour. In schistosomiasis, like in many other parasitic diseases, the aim of health education is: 1) to help people understand that their own behaviour is a key factor in the transmission of the disease, and 2) to find a common ground between traditional beliefs and practices, and modern scientific knowledge and methods. www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_qa3890/is_200307/ai_n9255489   (1201 words)

CSA - STS-41-G - Mission Overview The life sciences component includes several experiments on human adaptation to space flight as preparation for the more detailed investigations on a mission in mid-1986. The space technology experiments involve two areas: important development tests for the NRCC Space Vision System experiment to be flown on a mission in early 1986 and tests to determine the effect of exposure to space on different advanced composite materials. Each experiment were to be conducted on specific days of the mission. www.space.gc.ca /asc/eng/missions/sts-041g/overview.asp?printer=1   (281 words)

Porkrind Dot Org: Reviews: The Dosadi Experiment The Dosadi Experiment is about a planet set up as a grand but cruel experiment to test how a harsh environment can improve one’s abilities to read those around you and set yourself up for enhanced self-preservation. Keila Jedrik is human living on Dosadi about to make a huge bid for power and control. The story is about Jorj McKie, a human from the Bureau of Sabotage sent to investigate the planet Dosadi. www.porkrind.org /reviews/review.cgi?dosadi   (397 words)

Estimating the Integrated Radiation Dose for a Conjunction-Class Mars Mission Using Early MARIE Data The Martian Radiation Environment Experiment (MARIE) instrument is currently orbiting Mars aboard the Mars Odyssey spacecraft. Until further biological research is performed, and surface radiation measurements made, determination of absolute dose a human crew would experience, the effect of high GCR interplanetary doses, and the relationship to our LEO experience will remain estimates. This paper examines how using the measured radiation doses and comparing them to Low Earth Orbit dose equivalent guidelines, the total radiation dose expected for a 3-year human Mars mission is within current limits for astronauts. www.pubs.asce.org /WWWdisplay.cgi?0306335   (397 words)

TPS: Exploring Mars: The 2001 Mars Odyssey Mission The Mars Radiation Environment Experiment (MARIE) measures the near-space radiation environment as related to the radiation-related risk to human explorers Recording the radiation environment between the Earth and Mars and in low Mars orbit as it relates to radiation-related risk to human exploration. Its objective is to conduct a detailed mineralogical analysis of the planet's surface from orbit and measure the radiation environment. ww.planetary.org /mars/mo.html   (397 words)

CBHD: On Human Embryos and Stem Cell Research - The CBHD Accordingly, members of the human species who cannot give informed consent for research should not be the subjects of an experiment unless they personally may benefit from it or the experiment carries no significant risk of harming them. Given that the function of the adult stem cells was converted without the cells first having to pass through an embryonic stage, the use of such cells would not be subject to the ethical and legal objections raised by the use of human embryonic stem cells. Stem cells are the cells from which all 210 different kinds of tissue in the human body originate. www.cbhd.org /resources/stemcells/position_statement.htm   (462 words)
