Two Dads Make a Baby...


A medical breakthrough means that creating embryos using DNA from two men or two women may now be possible.

The SundayTimes reports that Researchers from Cambridge University and Israel’s Weizmann Institute of Science say they have shown for the first time that human egg and sperm cells can be made from stem cells in the skin of two adults.

Such a breakthrough, now raises the possibility a baby could be “manufactured” in a dish.



The scientists used stem cell lines from embryos as well as from the skin of five different adults.

Researchers have previously created live baby mice using engineered eggs and sperm, but until now have struggled to create a human version of these “primordial germ” or stem cells.

However not everybody is enthusiastic about the medical breakthrough.

The SundayTimes reports that David King, director of the Human Genetics Alert watchdog, said he was “concerned that scientists might view [germ-cell line creation] as a convenient route to creating genetically engineered babies.”

40B'NAIRA WAS NOT BORROWED, DELTA @ 33 FORMATION.

Image
PRESS STATEMENT 27th August, 2024 GOVERNOR SHERIFF OBOREVWORI HAS NOT BORROWED A DIME  The Delta State Government notes with serious concern some reports in some online media platforms alleging that Governor Sheriff Oborevwori borrowed the sum of N40billion soon after assuming office. The reports are not only misleading, but also capable of creating misunderstanding and confusion in the State. For the avoidance of doubt, I wish to state categorically that the Delta State Government DID NOT Borrow N40 billion. And the Sheriff Oborevwori administration has not borrowed any dime till now. The records are there for anybody who cares for the truth to verify. What the Oborevwori administration did was to graciously guarantee a N40b loan facility for ALGON, to enable it offset the unpaid pension liabilities of retired Local Government personnel. Repayable over a five-year period, the loan is to be repaid through direct debits to the Local Government Councils.  Also read   https:...

CANDIDATE MIND SET TO POLITICAL OFFICES... By Edewor Otighoarievwen. I will start by saying Nigeria politics look almost the same in all regions, state and ethnicities. The patten nor method at which politics is been approach and played in a democratic nation like Nigeria looks opposite of true definition of democracy. What could be the reason? First, I have noticed, majorly' electorates have the mentality of begging and extorting candidates ones it's election period. And that's a bad habit of patriotic citizens that suppose to protect and ensure democracy. Secondly, unqualified and wrong choice to candidacy becomes inevitable base on the absolute observation and understanding of echelons who are in authority and place of partial politics to donate and sponsor candidates' that; voters are only in need of food and individual development instead of territory or societal all round development. The YOUTH should listen đź‘‚, the true meaning of political participation is volun...

The Battle of Siget from August 6 to September 7, 1566.

Image
The Battle of Siget from August 6 to September 7, 1566. In the Habsburg-Ottoman war from 1551 to 1562, the Ottomans besieged Siget (Hungarian: *Szigetvár)* in the spring of 1556, but the defenders under the command of Mark Stančić (Hungarian: Horváth Stancsics Márk) managed to defend the fort. In August 1561, Marko Stančić died, and in September of the same year Count Nikola IV Zrinski (Hungarian: Zrínyi Miklós) was appointed as the new captain of Siget, at his own request. The conflict between the Ottoman vassal and the pretender to the Hungarian throne, Duke of Transylvania Sigismund Zapolya and the Czech, Hungarian and Croatian king Maximilian II. Habsburg, and the failure of the siege of Malta in 1565, influenced the decision of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent to break the truce concluded in 1562. At the age of 72 he undertakes the 13th campaign for his 45-year reign. The victory of the Croatian ban Petar Erdody near Obreska on September 10, 1565, over the army of the Bosnian Sandj...

DANGERS OF MARRYING AN ALREADY MADE MAN!!!

Image
Dangers of marrying an ALREADY MADE man!!! You see many girls are more interested in marrying boys who are doing well financially.  To them husband material is one with a good job, car and house.  Most of them do not realize that very few successful young men will bend for marriage.  They do not consider the dangers of marrying a man who’s life you have not contributed anything.  You just want to enter there and enjoy all the good things. What a shame ! Dangers of marrying already made men ; 1. They don’t change for any woman. If you found him taking alcohol, he will continue.  If you found him womanizing he will continue womanizing that comfort zone cannot be abolished by marriage. 2. You will have little say on what he has. When an already established man marries you, he doesn’t consider you as a person to value but a property to keep.  He will be counting you among the things he owns.  Many girls are treated like things and not humans because they l...
