Eight Israelis charged with trafficking human organs
Israeli police have broken up an organ transplanting ring that persuaded dozens of Israelis to have their kidneys removed in Ukraine. But, because Israeli law does not explicitly forbid the trafficking of organs, police may have to release the suspects.
Anthony Atala: Printing a human kidney
www.ted.com Surgeon Anthony Atala demonstrates an early-stage experiment that could someday solve the organ-donor problem a 3D printer that uses living cells to output a transplantable kidney. Using similar technology, Dr. Atala’s young patient Luke Massella received an engineered bladder 10 years ago; we meet him onstage.TEDTalks is a daily video podcast of the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world’s leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes.

GM Human-Hybrids Future Market for Organs, Babies, Pharma
www.infowars.com Scientists have hoped for decades that developments in genetic research could lead to biotech applications. Now, human-animal hybrids and transgenic clones are paving the way for organ harvesting and artificially-created human life. But what are the ethics behind this new technology? A biotech culture of ‘pharming’ has also emerged where cloned animals with inserted cross-species genes are used to produce everything from a GMO-version of human-like bovine milk, to pharmaceutical drugs, to spider-silk bred in goats and glow-in-the-dark puppies, kittens and mice made translucent by the application of jellyfish genes. Are there any safeguards or ethics in place to slow abuses of this emerging technology? And how long has science been developing cloning technology? Is it longer than we have been led to believe? The technology promises to aid infertile couples even as global fertility plummets. It gives hope for those in need of organ transplants. It gives the potential for efficient industrial production of synthesized drugs and enhanced food products. But is it safe? Who is watching? And have we unleashed Pandora’s Box? Control over the Transgenic human-animal hybrid pose lucrative possibilities for new monopolies based on gene-patents for life, but it also threatens the integrity of the genetic code of life. GMO crops like soy have caused infertility and cancer in lab mice, much of which did not show expression until the second or third generation. If these …
