Fertile discussions
Article Abstract:
Scientists and orthodox Jews have many conflicts in Israel and one is over artificial fertility because of the confusion between the pro-reproduction religious laws and bioethics. A Tel Aviv University conference recently revealed that four leading rabbis have been conferring with scientists on treatment of infertility and the Jacobovits have announced support for new technological treatments for infertility. Surplus human embryos have been approved for research and genetic manipulation of sperm cells is also approved.

Space 'time capsule' could send a message to the future

This would contain works of art and compact discs giving a detailed insight into contemporary life, along with many messages from those who now inhabit Earth. Philippe intends that this craft will return to Earth in 50,000 years. His plan is being supported by a number of research and space organizations, including the French Atomic Energy Commission.
