| It's
of these days the news thet in the laboratories of the MCP Hahnemann University
School of Medicine of Philadelphia a researchers team - co-operating with
the colleagues of the Duke University(North Carolina)- has realized a robot
controlled autonomously by a number of neurones. The neurophisiology John
Chapin, together with another researchers'team, succeeded in realizing mice
only by thinking and by the movement of an artificial arm. Furthemore, in
the United States, human embryo has been cloned. At home, more pragmatic
minded-and together with the approval of the Minister of Healt- far as 42
transgenetic fields are on work; obviously all that is carried using tact,
in order to not provoke alarmisms. Only France can boast the higher number
of transgenic fields, while Austria, Belgium, Denmark and Germany are noteworthy
below our quota. The European Union on the other hand has been required
by Greece to change laws about checks in this sector, so to achieve a greater
renvironment safeguard, since the open field can provoke, by the means of
the pollen, mutation in cultivation around. Why this silence? The reality
is that man aims to target different from those having inspired the horror
tales as "Frankenstein" or "Dr.Jekill and Mr Hyde", those new scientists
try to put in act. Will be this one future the science is getting ready
for human kind next millennium? Willbe that the forunner of the end of the
eart planet? Is it going to be a news Atlantis or a new Flood? These are
matters we often wonder about without having an answer. Maybe that's why
they prefer to withhold;it's better not to see, not to hear, not to talk
about, but who will stop those that are ready to create new monsters? May
science be limitless? This issue we attempt to involve our readers - by
the intervieus (see page 30 and follows)- into a debate that is much-discussed
mainly inside the scientific world and within theories are very conflicting.
Sure in awaking your interest, we start dealing with this topic intentionally
before the summer break so you can devote some minutes of your relax to
pause upon this matter and if you want you can send us your opinion. We are especally delighted to congratulate with Prefessor Luigi Frati, leader of our issue on April, who unanimously has been reappointed as Dean of the Faculty of Medicine of the "La Sapienza" University of Rome, this way carrying on in his work aimed to an ever higher scientific valence. |
