...There was a time not too long ago when the wait for telephone service in some areas of Delhi territory was 15 years. Today it's different: I haven't heard any reports of cell-phone-signal dropout in the area Robinson mentioned. Yes, India has problems, but it has come a long way in the past few decades. And far from being a burden, democracy is our biggest insurance against momentum being gained in the wrong direction. Sunil Bajpai, NEW DELHI...
...amused by how Robinson let little hiccups like power outages and cell-phone failures distort the big picture of India. The very fact that India's remote and hilly northeastern terrain has passable roads, suvs, cell-phone service and hotels speaks of momentum and progress. India offers abundant opportunities to get rich quick. Indeed, the countless foreign businessmen and women who come to India are worried more about cell connectivity in Delhi than malnourished children in Noida. I am a regular visitor to China and a keen follower of Chinese progress. One must realize that that country opened...
While all these alternative methods are worth investigating and are already being avidly pursued by scientists, they are not a substitute for embryonic stem cell research, as Bush has suggested. The fastest way to discover new cures is to pursue all avenues of research, not to abandon the most promising one and try to make up for it by spending extra money on the others...
...concerns about destroying human life are not a fabrication of the religious right or merely an excuse for an anti-science administration to deny funding. They are the same concerns that have been brought up in Europe, where governments have been far more permissive of embryonic stem cell research. Scientists in European countries typically must obtain a license to create a new embryonic line. Even in Britain, where the government has been not only permissive but actively supportive of embryonic research, there is widespread recognition that embryos should not be freely destroyed. The British government, like many others, has also...
...promise of embryonic stem cell research is not an abstract hope that there may be cures in distant future, but an expectation of concrete results in the near future. In mice, embryonic stem cells turned in dopamine have already been shown to ameliorate Parkinson’s disease. Embryonic stem cell research promises to save lives. Yet, it also poses pressing questions about where, exactly, the ethical boundaries are. Our country needs a new policy that engages the ethical questions, sets standards, and allows scientists to move forward...
