One of the great challenges of the twenty-first century will be our response to the combined power of new reproductive technologies and manipulation of the human gene. Two recent news stories illustrate the heart of the problem: scientists recognize they now face serious ethical problems but continue to do more or less nothing about them.

A New York Times story (December 23, 1999) reports a successful experiment in which jellyfish genes were mixed with the sperm cells of ...

	Scientists Create First Genetically Altered Monkey The Washington Post ; Scientists have created the first genetically modified monkey, an advance that could lead to customized primates for medical research and that brings the possibility of genetic manipulation closer than ever to humans. The researchers made the monkey by splicing jellyfish genes into eggs of rhesus
	Contractor rehabilitates Denver sanitary sewer.(Western Slope Utilities Inc.) Public Works ; Video inspection revealed that much of the Cherry Creek Common Interceptor, a major sanitary sewer interceptor in Denver, was damaged by corrosion and needed to be replaced or rehabilitated. Some of the pipeline was so corroded that rubber gaskets were hanging in the flow. Engineers from Metro
	Gene transfer to monkeys raises concerns Technique with jellyfish might apply to humans The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel ; Scientists in Oregon have installed jellyfish genes in monkey embryos using a technique that might eventually be used to create monkeys with added human genes, according to a report being published today. Such a technique would allow those genes to be studied for the development of treatments for
	Magnetostrictive accuracy to the drop.(PLANT AND EQUIPMENT) Food Trade Review ; The new Jupiter[R] 200 from Magnetrol is the safest magnetostrictive liquid level transmitter on the market today. With a SFF of> 900, the Jupiter is suitable for SIL 2 instrumented loops as a tool device and exceeds the rating of any other equivalent device. Jupiter is a highly accurate (0,4mm)
