Kristen Bell Was Treating Her Daughter Like An Adult By Telling Her The Truth About Santa
by Corey AtadKristen Bell isn’t keeping secrets from her six-year-old daughter.
The “Frozen 2” star is on the cover of the new Women’s Day, and in it she reveals that she fessed up when her daughter questioned the existence of Santa.
“I pictured her in a more adult situation where she had a sinking feeling in her gut and wanted to ask the question,” Bell says. “Was I going to pat her on the head and go ‘Stop thinking about that, I already told you, it’s fine, believe me?’ Or would I want to produce the kind of person who goes ‘I’m sorry, I really do need more information on this’?”
Bell also shares some of her family’s Christmas traditions.
“Dax [Shepard] introduced the idea of opening gifts on Christmas morning from youngest to oldest, which I really like,” she says. “I’m able to talk my daughters through who gave them each gift. I try to reiterate that these presents don’t just fall from the sky; they came from a thoughtful individual whom we need to thank.”
She adds, “Another habit I want to pass down to them is to not get stressed out about the holidays. It’s tempting to think that everything has to be perfect. But if we decide at 2 p.m. on Christmas Eve to order takeout instead of cook, I will have a smile on my face.”

Today, I realized how hard it is to teach someone, and that too, specifically, on IRC. The mark reached its peak when I was individually helping every student almost for the entire day and suddenly, some of them got bored and left the channel. 😢😛
Anyways, this was an admirable experience as I got to teach junior folks in the same way, How I had learned from some of the finest mentors in the world.
This was Day 1 of teaching in #GirlScriptSnp. Looking forward to having some more fun learning sessions with the junior folks soon.
Logs to today's session can be found here.
And yeah, I have added some more functionalities in gbot (IRC bot). Check out the updates in here.
That's all for now.
Till next time, o/.

Recursion is an alternative method to solving problems in programming. It's something that we haven't yet covered at DBC but one that I've consistently heard about from my computer science friends who geek out about tough challenges. I was curious and so decided to do some research regarding what recursion is and when it is beneficial.
According to the Ruby Bastards Book, "at its most basic concept, recursion is a division of labor". Recursion is often used to take a big problem and break it down into smaller pieces. It does this by calling itself within the function. The easiest way to explain this confusing concept is to use an example:
We can solve 1+2+3+4 by typing it out like this:
(1 + 2 + 3 + 4)
But, we can also break it down as smaller problems that amount to the same thing:
((1 + 2 + 3) + 4)
(((1 + 2) + 3) + 4)
((((1)+ 2) + 3) + 4)
Essentially, we've broken down what was once one problem, (1 + 2 + 3 + 4) into 4 smaller problems.
Now, if we were to create a method called sum_upto that adds all the numbers up to whatever number is passed through as an argument, we can see how recursion might work:
def sum_upto(n)
return 1 if n == 1 (basecase)
return sum_upto(1) + 2 if n == 2
return sum_upto(2) + 3 if n == 3
return sum_upto(3) + 4 if n == 4
sum_upto 1 # => 1
sum_upto 2 # => 3
sum_upto 3 # => 6
sum_upto 4 # => 10
We've written out the code that's being executed for each instance of sum_upto until it reaches 4. This helps illustrate what is going on but is highly unscalable. If you wanted to find out what the sum up to 100 was, you'd have to write 100 more lines of code! However, if we look at the code again, we can see that a pattern is forming. Essentially, the code looks like this:
def sum_upto(n)
return 1 if n == 1 (basecase)
return sum_upto(n-1) + n if n == 2
return sum_upto(n-1) + n if n == 3
return sum_upto(n-1) + n if n == 4
In all instances after 1, the method follows the same pattern. Therefore, we can refactor it to be clean, orderly, and useful.
def sum_upto(n)
return 1 if n == 1
return sum_upto(n-1) + n
end
Now, I wrote in parenthesis that the return 1 value is called the basecase. Without this, the method falls into error. Here's why:
return sum_upto(1-1) + 1
return sum_upto(0) + 1
return sum_upto(0-1) + 1
return sum_upto(-1) + 1
This quickly becomes a downward spiral and an endless loop that causes many errors in your program. It might be helpful as we dive into harder recursive problems to employ a similar method of breaking down what is 'actually' going on, using real numbers, so that we can find the patterns that exist.

- 19 This is the account of the family line of Abraham’s son Isaac. Abraham became the
father of Isaac, 20 and Isaac was forty years old when he married Rebekah daughter of
Bethuel the Aramean from Paddan Aram and sister of Laban the Aramean.
- 21 Isaac prayed to the Lord on behalf of his wife, because she was childless. The Lord
answered his prayer, and his wife Rebekah became pregnant. 22 The babies jostled each
other within her, and she said, “Why is this happening to me?” So she went to inquire
of the Lord
- 23 The Lord said to her
- “Two nations are in your womb,
- and two peoples from within you will be separated;
- one people will be stronger than the other
- and the older will serve the younger.”
- 24 When the time came for her to give birth, there were twin boys in her womb. 25 The
first to come out was red, and his whole body was like a hairy garment; so they named him
Esau. 26 After this, his brother came out, with his hand grasping Esau’s heel; so he was
named Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when Rebekah gave birth to them.
Genesis 25:19-26
Reflect and Respond
I always thought it would be fun to have twins. Matching babies are so cute
dressed up in identical outfits, wheeled out on display in a double stroller for the
world to stop and coo over. The reality of having two babies at once is so much
different than the dream world of matching outfits and adorable pictures. A close
friend, blessed with twin girls, shared that there were moments when motherhood of multiples seemed an impossible job. Her pregnancy and delivery were
much more complicated and difficult. The girls arrived early and were in the
NICU for weeks. And then, to her horror, they sent her and her husband home
with both of them—trusting that they would know what to do! In the early days
it seemed like one or both of the babies was always crying.
Rebekah and Isaac must have felt as ill prepared as any first-time parents.
They had waited so long for these twin babies through the grueling journey of
infertility. Rebekah’s pregnancy was so difficult that she cried out to God, asking
Him what was going on within her.

Part of elita.deployment.deploy View In Hierarchy
Given a list of application groups that require rolling deployment and an (optional) list that do not, compute the optimal batches of server/gitdeploy pairs. All non-rolling groups are added to the first batch. Splitting algorithm is tolerant of outrageously large rolling_divisors.
Written in a functional style to facilitate testing.
| Static Method | add_nonrolling_groups | Add servers and gitdeploys from nonrolling groups to the first batch Not written in a functional style because that was totally unreadable |

| Static Method | coalesce_batches | Combine the big list of batches into a single list. |
| Static Method | compute_group_batches | Compute batches for group. Group is iteritems() result from group dict. group[0] is key (name), group[1] is dict of servers/gitdeploys |

02 October 1996
Disease Outbreak Reported
An outbreak of yellow fever has been reported in the Department of Atakora in the north east region of the country. The area affected is Kerou Sous Préfecture (population 44 329) where 48 cases and 37 deaths have been recorded. These cases occurred between July and September 1996. Urgent control measures were put into place following a meeting with the Minister of Health:
A team led by the Minister of Health accompanied by the WHO Representative visited the area on 17 and 18 September to assess the situation. A vaccination campaign was started immediately with the stock of 13000 vaccines already available provided by the French Fonds d'Aide et d'Action culturelle and WHO. Two further donations of 50 000 doses of vaccine were made by the government of the Netherlands and the European Union. The health authorities plan to vaccinate the whole population of Kérou and surrounding areas (population over 350,000) and therefore need over 200 000 further doses for this purpose. An appeal has been made for financial support.
Travellers are reminded that yellow fever vaccination is obligatory for entry into the country.

[gecode-users] Graph Connectivity Problem
Halit Erdogan
halit at su.sabanciuniv.edu
Mon May 18 18:42:04 CEST 2009
Dear All,
Although it seems a very common problem I could not find any
information on forcing graph connectedness neither in documentation
nor in the web archive.
The problem is: I have a matrix "m" representing an undirected graph.
m(i,j) = 1 means there is an edge between the vertices i and j. I want
m to represent a connected graph (every pair of distinct vertices in
the graph ( (i,j) in m) is connected through some path). How can I
write this as a constraint in gecode?
thanks in advance,
-halit

Le Grand Chemin (The Grand Highway)
Louis (Antoine Hubert) an eight-year-old Parisian boy is taken by his pregnant mother (who has been deserted by her husband) to her old girlfriend in the country in Brittany where the friend can watch her son for the 3 weeks it will probably take before her new child is born.
The boy is very reluctant to be left with strangers but he has no choice. Along comes Martine (Vanessa Guedj) a 10 1/2- year-old bombshell of a country girl to take him in hand and explain everything a young boy should know. "Like to see a girl's wee wee?" she asks. "Oui, oui," he replies . . . or should have. She takes him to a hayloft where they watch her nude sister and fiance roll in the hay. "Why does her sister do it?" Louis wonders, as he listens to her moaning which he interprets as pain?
As in MY LIFE AS A DOG, AU REVOIR LES ENFANTS, and HOPE AND GLORY, and many many more, this movie is about children growing up, learning about life and having to deal with it as each new wonder arises, with the director telling the true story as he remembers it.
Le Grand Chemin will enchant you. Every word the young girl utters is outrageously funny; her every action (from lifting up her dress to expose herself to the back of a priest, to her climbing the church roof to urinate down the drain so that the gargoyle's mouth spouts the urine onto a passing nun) is hilarious.
Also in the cast are Christine Pascal and Anemone.
The French, like the italians, deal with their religion, nuns, priests, church, God, heaven with humor. Unlike in the U.S., they feel that a priest is only a human doing his best in his chosen field and not an angel sent by a mysterious God. They are more up tight about violence than they are about sex.
In French with English subtitles.
Directed by Jean-Louis Hubert, the real-life father of Antoine.

Estimating Engineering Tasks: The Soft Side20 August 2017
Estimating work is the bane of every engineer’s existence. If you overestimate and deliver too quickly, the perception is that you’re sandbagging, whereas if you underestimate and deliver too late, the perception is that you’re not competent. Most resources about task estimation are purely technical. The “soft side” of estimation is equally important, yet rarely discussed (and in practice, it usually causes the most friction). In this post I’ll discuss the psychology of estimation, ways to communicate with stakeholders about...

How to Actually Brainstorm (like a respectable businessperson)15 August 2017
How do you brainstorm while maintaining a balance between pragmatism and creativity? In this post, I’ll discuss some theory behind maintaining this balance, and then I’ll discuss some actual, real-world tips for how to “actually brainstorm”, and where to proceed next.

Practical Queue Considerations14 August 2017
Intuitively, we jump to HTTP to use as our communication protocol between services in a system. However, using a queue has many benefits. In this post, instead of diving only into theory of queues, I’ll give practical advice on implementing a queue, illustrate some use cases I’ve encountered in a production system where using a queue had obvious benefits versus HTTP, as well as give some practical implementation ideas.

Understanding Mongoose Deep Population24 January 2016
While MongoDB doesn’t natively support joins, the Mongoose framework now supports “deep population” (Mongoose has supported single-level populations for a while), which is akin to passing Mongoose a “graph” of what data should be populated in the results of your query.

Breaking down HTTPS17 January 2016
What is HTTPS, and why is it any more secure than HTTP? What is TLS, RSA, symmetric and asymmetric encryption, and what happens when I send my credit card over a secure connection so that I can buy Game of Thrones with the sole intention of binge watching the entire season in one evening? This article will attempt to answer those questions (but not the one about your obsession with Game of Thrones).

Using node.js to upload your app to Google Play26 December 2015
If you're developing a hybrid mobile app, you may want to stick with node.js to upload your app to the Google Play Store. However, Google's node.js client is still in "alpha", and documentation is very limited. This post gives information about basic setup to get started using the googleapis client.

Initial thoughts on event sourcing24 December 2015
"The state of any object can be derived from the events that affect it." In a nutshell, this is the thesis of "event sourcing", which, when implemented in an application, becomes an "event driven architecture". In this post I'll discuss some of the practical applications, benefits, and drawbacks that the team and I have noticed after migrating our current, stateful database to a more event-driven approach.

Get rid of $scope, and extend into the view model23 August 2015
AngularJS's controllerAs syntax is a good first step into being able to have some sort of sense of hierarchy in applications. However, large controllers can still get unwieldy.  The cause of the bug? A missing <script> tag. Several important lessons can be learned from the ways in which we decided to go about solving this simple headbanger (no, not like you'd do at a heavy metal concert; rather, where you actually consider banging your head on a solid object) of a problem.

3 reasons you should not be using Array.prototype.forEach15 August 2015
One of the main problems with forEach is that it primarily relies on side effects, whereas some native Array.prototype alternatives make use of semantically-correct programming paradigms (such as reduction, mapping, and filtering) and may in turn introduce less incidental complexity (and enhance readability) when writing code.

From JavaScript to Ruby: Using Blocks Like Callbacks20 April 2015
This post is the first in the series of “From JavaScript to Ruby”, which is aimed at helping JavaScript developers transition their thinking from JavaScript to Ruby. This post will answer this fundamental question: how do I do “callbacks” in Ruby? The answer is: the “idiomatic” way (we’ll talk about what “idiomatic” means) to use so-called callbacks in Ruby is to use blocks. We’ll discuss blocks, and their similarities to JavaScript callbacks.

Tricks of the JavaScript for loop24 March 2015
I'm sure you've seen the common for loop written a thousand different ways. Well, in this post, you'll learn one readable way that is good for pretty much most instances where you'll use a for loop (some exceptions are noted, too). Oh, and scroll all the way down for a bonus snippet (we'll create something pretty cool, I think).

Why do people add semicolons before modules?22 March 2015
This post is going to discuss the reasoning behind a strange-looking syntax style that some people use when declaring JavaScript modules (in the context of immediately invoked function expressions). Simply put, the point of this trick is to get around minification issues when using other people's code (or your own).

Lightweight dependency modularization22 March 2015
So what's this post all about? We're going to examine an interesting alternative for passing dependencies between JavaScript modules. The goal is to avoid any overhead (by using libraries like RequireJS), but also to avoid attaching too many things to the global namespace...

How do I check if a parameter was passed in to a function in JavaScript?20 March 2015
This post is going to talk about checking for the "existence" of a parameter, if we expected one to be there and how to handle this "flow of control", and how we define "checking for existence" in the first place. The fundamental concept behind all of this, as we'll learn, is the fuzzy idea of truthiness (which is different depending on which programming language you're referring too.) We'll see that JavaScript has a very broad idea of truthiness.
-
What is hoisting in JavaScript?20 March 2015
What is this strange word "hoisting"? As of the current version of JavaScript (ECMAScript5), there's not really such a thing as block scope, which is something common to lots of other programming languages (there is a caveat though, which we'll learn towards the end of this post.) Hoisting and the non-existence of "block scope" can be confusing. Learn how to overcome this issue.


• SQL stands for Structured Query Language
• SQL lets you access and manipulate databases
• SQL became a standard of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) in 1986, and of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in 1987
• SQL can execute queries against a database
• SQL can retrieve data from a database
• SQL can insert records in a database
• SQL can update records in a database
• SQL can delete records from a database
• SQL can create new databases
• SQL can create new tables in a database
• SQL can create stored procedures in a database
• SQL can create views in a database
• SQL can set permissions on tables, procedures, and views
Although SQL is an ANSI/ISO standard, there are different versions of the SQL language.
However, to be compliant with the ANSI standard, they all support at least the major commands (such as SELECT, UPDATE, DELETE, INSERT, WHERE) in a similar manner.
Note: Most of the SQL database programs also have their own proprietary extensions in addition to the SQL standard!

- Type
- number
(static) getWorldPosition(object, target)
Returns the world position of object and sets
it on target.
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
object |
THREE.Object3D | |
target |
THREE.Vector3 |
(static) setQuaternionFromDirection(direction, up, target)
Takes a direction vector and an up vector and sets
`target` quaternion to the rotation. Similar to THREE.Matrix4's
`lookAt` function, except rather than taking two Vector3 points,
we've already calculaeld the direction earlier so skip the first half.
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
direction |
THREE.Vector3 | |
up |
THREE.Vector3 | |
target |
THREE.Quaternion |
(static) transformPoint(vector, matrix, target)
Implementation of Unity's Transform.transformPoint, which is similar
to three's Vector3.transformDirection, except we want to take scale into account,
as we're not transforming a direction. Function taken from BabylonJS.
From BabylonJS's `Vector3.transformCoordinates`:
Sets the passed vector coordinates with the result of the transformation by the
passed matrix of the passed vector. This method computes tranformed coordinates only,
not transformed direction vectors (ie. it takes translation in account)
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
vector |
THREE.Vector3 | |
matrix |
THREE.Matrix4 | |
target |
THREE.Vector3 |


Encouraging physical activities

This is an innovative, unprecedented and challenging opportunity to dramatically reduce or correct disabilities in a population of 1.5 million persons. Impact India believes that this is an exceptional and replicable project which conforms to all the priorities of the Indian Government and International Agencies:
In partnership with the Maharashtra State (endorsed by a Government Order issued on November 7th, 2007), IIF has commenced a Community Health Initiative (CHI), a model National Rural Health Mission in support of the goal to establish a fully functional, community owned, health-delivery system in the tribal areas of rural Thane District in Northern Maharashtra - Palghar, Dahanu, Talasari, Jawhar, Mokhada, Vikramgad and Wada Blocks.
The CHI aims at the dramatic reduction in a number of disabilities affecting a population of approximately 1.5 million tribals through curative and preventive measures. Impact believes in creating replicable programmes, working with NGOs and mobilising the community.
A Health Game, based on the conventional Snakes and Ladders game, has been designed specifically by Impact (in English and Marathi) for the use of rural school children. The game seeks to �reward� and reinforce positive behaviour relating to health (climb a ladder) and �punish� and discourage poor health practices (slide down a snake). The Game is simple and effective in communicating various health messages in a playful way.
According to a Baseline Survey commissioned by Impact at the commencement of the CHI, the Tata Institute of Social Sciences, a leading social research agency, reported the following: "The percentage of population with specified is 5.5, which is very high when compared to the proportion of disabled in rural Maharashtra State. (1.8%).
The distribution of disabled according to the type of their disability shows that a majority of them have Orthopaedic (37%), closely followed by Hearing (32.8%) and Vision (28.4%) disabilities. A few (0.6%) of them have Cleft lips. 2.9 percent of them have more than one disability.

Through the local State Health machinery, such as Anganwadi (cr�che) workers, Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHAs), and Impact's own Field Workers disabled patients are identified, clinically screened at camps and treated. Impact has created partnerships with several Referral Hospitals in the area for free-of-cost surgeries to the rural poor.
The School Health Programme
Health Monitor checking for basic health problems
Introduced in 2005 the School Health Programme involved the Training of School Teachers by professional organisations (The National Association for the Blind and the Ali Yavar Jung National Institute for Hearing Handicapped) in the identification of vision and hearing disabilities amongst students.
In the School Health Monitor Programme, students are asked to vote for their eminently suitable and able peers who would be responsible for early identification of any disabilities amongst their classmates. Health Monitors (HM) in each class - one Monitor for every 10 children - are thus elected.
The Health Monitor programme helps to create awareness in children for early signs of illness. The students became change agents for the entire community.The State Government has since institutionalised the School Health programme.
Emergency Medicine
Training is provided for:
Warli paintings in the First-Aid Manual illustrating tre atment for diseases
Warli paintings illustrating reatment for dehydration
Warli paintings in the First-Aid Manual illustrating treatment for diseases
Zia demonstrating C-spine precautions
Over 2000 women have participated in First Aid training programmes conducted in five modules over three months by Zina Semenovskaya, a fourth year medical student of the Weil Cornell Medical School, New York, in 2007. Her efforts, using traditional folk art forms, for largely illiterate rural communities, were accepted in the Annals of Emergency Medicine.
Immunisation
In collaboration with the State Health authorities Impact mobilises mothers to bring their infants, aged 0 to 2 years, for vaccination administered against all childhood diseases such as BCG, DPT, Polio, Measles and Hepatitis B. In this way Impact contributes to achieving 100% immunization.
Malnutrition prevention
Information, Education and Communication programmes. Health messages on the social factors responsible for Malnutrition are communicated through traditional (Warli) folk art - posters, wall paintings, painted earthernware pots, saris, as well as folk dances, music, street theatre and films on CDs. Topics include delay in early marriage, spacing between childbirths, exclusive breast feeding for six months, hygiene and sanitation and immunization against childhood diseases. Awareness on Government entitlements/schemes form a key part of the programme.

Introduction: This baby blanket is made up of 16 square 7� x 7� pieces. One blanket to save one of several thousand infants in Impact India Foundation�s Community Health initiative in tribal Thane District, Maharashtra.
Proposal: To create an important focus in order to prevent the large number of infant deaths in the area.
Background: There is a traditional birth practice in tribal areas which needs to be addressed. It is the resistance to cut the umbilical cord as soon as the baby is born. The custom is to leave the cord as it is until the placenta comes out of the mother�s body and it separates naturally � this could take upto one hour. Until that happens, the baby is made to lie on the cold floor near the mother, without clothes and exposed to the vast difference of the heat inside the womb to the cold air outside. No covering is available for the poor mother to wrap here baby. The high rate of infant deaths is linked to this practice.
Aim: To involve School children by initially helping to prevent infant deaths through preparation of simple blankets to keep them warm. This can be followed by arranging for individual school children to personally deliver the blankets to the identified new-borns in the village, with suitable photographs for the school children to keep. This interaction can result in the school children�s abiding interest in the welfare of the infants, with visits to the infants from time to check on their progress and seeking support from their parents and others for material and funds for the upkeep of the infants. It will also encourage Institutional births.
Details: Material can be collected by the school children from local tailors, households, etc. and stitched into blankets. Creative expressions would be painted on the blanket with the school child�s name.
Process Document is now available for replication of Community Health Initiative.
Impact India Foundation�s (IIF) mission is sustainable, replicable, health models of national priority, using existing delivery systems and available infrastructure. For this purpose, IIF acts as a catalyst to bring together the skills and resources of the corporate sector, professionals, NGOs and the community, in partnership with the Government.
IIF�s Community Health Initiative (CHI) is a model in support of the Government�s National Rural Health Mission to establish a fully functional, community owned, integrated, health-delivery system. It covers a population of about two million tribals in rural Thane District, Maharashtra. Having exceeded its objective of 50% reduction in disability, through prevention and cure, by 72%, IIF seeks partners to replicate the CHI elsewhere in rural India. To facilitate this, a Process Document prepared by Tata Consultancy Services is available to interested parties.

E-mail<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Capacity building of Government health service providers at the grass-roots level is vital to the sustainability of Impact India's interventions in the Community Health Initiative in Maharashtra. Impact India trains Anganwadi (creche) Workers on monitoring the growth of infants aged 0 to 6 years, and educates them on mobilising pregnant mothers to consume Iron & Folic Acid Tablets, take Tetanus Toxoid vaccinations and go in for Ante Natal Check-ups.
Impact India Foundation (IIF) trains Government�s Auxiliary Nurse Midwives (ANMs) and Primary Health Centres� staff on verifying pregnancies through urine tests and to note the albumin content. IIF teaches ANMs to note that if a woman is under 18 years old or, if her weight is below 40 kgs or, if her Hb level is below 7 gram %, she is an at-risk mother. Treatment from the Doctor or Gynaecologist is essential. Impact India also trains ANMs on monitoring the growth of the foetus and on identifying infections in Post Natal Cases for immediate medical attention.

When the news first swept the world about the cloning of a sheep, a wave of science-fiction reading journalists postulated that soon we would be cloning Michael Jordan in order to create a stellar basketball team. Hysteria flourished in the halls of the federal government as members of Congress and the President clamored to issue public denunciations of human cloning. Once the initial hype died down and along with it outrageous predictions, sober dialogue and debate about the ethical implications of the new technology should have followed.
Instead, we were treated to an outpouring of hand-wringing and moral condemnation. Pope John Paul II declared that every human has a "right to a unique human genome." UNESCO has weighed in as well, declaring, "Practices which are contrary to human dignity, such as reproductive cloning of human beings, shall not be permitted."1 Nineteen members of the European Council have signed an agreement prohibiting the cloning of humans saying that "… it is important for Europe solemnly to declare its determination to defend human dignity against the abuses of scientific techniques."2 Finally, our own President reminded us that "[i]t's good to remember that scientific advancement does not occur in a moral vacuum."3
These comments beg a great deal of questions. Is cloning immoral? By what standard? Is the case against human cloning as airtight as the statements indicate? Should cloning be banned for the public safety? In the voluminous writing on the subject, the answers to these questions are far from apparent. In this essay, I will briefly detail the scientific background of cloning. Then I will attempt to flush the philosophical underpinnings of the anti-cloning camp from the bushes of assertion. Finally, I will examine these underlying premises' validity and objectivity. Through these efforts, I hope to shine the illuminating light of reason on an oftentimes emotional subject.
p>Before we move on to these premises, though, we must elaborate the context of the cloning issue—that is, we must understand the scientific theories behind cloning. The whole field of biotechnology is undergoing a revolution. With the discovery of recombinant DNA in 1970, the possibilities of manipulating biological entities seems endless. There now exists a Human Genome Project charged with mapping the whole of man's genetic structure. Once that is achieved, man's heretofore unknown internal development will be laid bare.
In the meantime, cloning is the hottest research going. It is currently focused on a process known as 'somatic cell nuclear transfer.' In this procedure, the nucleus of one cell is inserted into another cell whose nucleus has been removed. As amazing as this is, still more incredible is the potential for combining this nuclear transfer with recent breakthroughs involving adult cells. Prior to becoming mature, adult cells, cells are embryonic—retaining the potentiality of being any type of cell once there is the proper stimulus. These cells are known as stem cells. It now appears that adult cells can be 'reset' back to stem cells and then—with the proper stimulus—any kind of cell imaginable.
This is what the Roslin experiment indicated. In February 1997, Ian Wilmut and his colleagues at the Scottish animal research facility successfully cloned a sheep from an adult mammary cell. They did this by removing the nucleus of an adult udder cell and then inserting it into a sheep egg cell whose nucleus had been removed.4 Once the cell began dividing, it was implanted into the uterus of another sheep where it underwent the normal gestational process and entered the world as a genetically-equivalent copy of its 'mother.' This newborn was called Dolly and initiated a worldwide debate that continues to this day.
While questions still linger—namely about whether the donor nucleus was in fact an adult cell5—the Dolly experiment did prove that somatic cell transfer does work. Subsequent experiments in Oregon involving a Rhesus monkey confirmed Wilmut's findings.6 This technology is not just of theoretical importance; the ability to change a cell into a completely different type of cell has profound implications for current disease treatment. Patients suffering from leukemia could be given healthy marrow cells removed from their own bodies, thus solving the biggest problem facing such patients—inability to find an acceptable donor. Or diabetics could get insulin-producing cells transplanted into their pancreas. Or heart attack victims could get heart tissue replacements. The possibilities are both staggering and endless.
The real controversy does not lie with such inarguable medical benefits. It centers around attempts or proposed attempts to duplicate the Dolly experiment on human beings. The controversy has been stirred by the likes of people such as Richard Seed. Seed broke some startling news at a Chicago symposium on reproductive technologies in December of 1997.7 He claimed that he was going to establish a clinic for human cloning using private funds and expects the demand to rise to about 200,000 per year once his procedure is perfected.8 He further claims that he has already obtained some seed money (no pun intended) as well as some doctors and donors who are willing to be the first participants. This set off a public furor which resulted in a general ban on cloning in Europe and a spate of bills in both houses of Congress seeking everything from a five-year moratorium to outright prohibition.9
What is the source of such disapproval? Why does cloning engender such moral opprobrium? In my research on the subject, I have found that arguments against human cloning have fallen into one of four general themes: cloning is unnatural; cloning is a glaring example of man's hubris; cloning has great potential for misuse; and cloning precludes genetic diversity.
The artificiality of cloning is by far the most popular argument offered against cloning. Cloning is just not the way human beings reproduce, according to this view. Changing the way humans engage in one of the most basic needs is fraught with possible peril. Like homosexuality, it is flaunting the natural order of things. Columnist George Will put it this way: "What if the great given—a human being is a product of the union of a man and woman—is no longer a given?" Environmentalist Jeremy Rifkin observed that cloning "throws every convention, every historical tradition, up for grabs."10
Related to the unnatural argument is the fear that cloning would produce a slew of genetically-identical people. In other words, cloning would reduce the diversity of our population. Genetics plays a huge role in determining our individuality and identity, proponents of this premise believe. Start duplicating people and you become a homogenous, collectivist society. "Can individuality, identity, and dignity be severed from genetic distinctiveness, and from belief in a person's open future?" asks Will.11 The assumption underlying Will's query is that these human traits cannot be separated from genetic foundations—that is, all of man's identity, personality, intelligence, etc. are derived from genetic factors. Professor John Fletcher of the University of Virginia's medical school and an authority on biomedical ethics calls this belief 'genetic essentialism' and says that polls indicate between thirty and forty percent of Americans share Will's opinion.12
Another prominent argument by which cloning is deplored is the man-as-God premise. This view basically states that creation is the exclusive domain of God, or should be. For men to arrogate that fundamental divine power for themselves is an unpardonable sin. Man should accept God's divine wisdom and not try to second-judge His actions. By what right does mankind meddle in the affairs of the supreme being? Who is man to believe himself of such significance?
This argument also has its roots in the 'unnatural' argument since God created the natural order of things. Any deviation from this norm is a flaunting of God's natural edicts. Cloning, as the Pope has said, is simply not how Christians reproduce. Or, more colloquially, if God had meant for man to clone himself, He would have given him asexual reproduction. Since He didn't, man must make do with the old-fashioned method of procreation. Cloning opponents have explicitly stated this many times. House Majority Leader Dick Armey said that "to be human is to be made in the image and likeness of a loving God … creating multiple copies of God's unique handiwork" is bad for a variety of reasons. Senator Kit Bond says that "humans are not God and they should not be allowed to play God." Albert Moraczewski, a theologian with the National Conference of Catholic Bishops, argues that "cloning exceeds the limits of the delegated dominions given to the human race."13
Cloning has also been criticized for the potential of misuse. It has been speculated that people would utilize the procedure for the wrong reasons. It is generally conceded that an infertile couple who cannot conceive a child by any other means may be a legitimate case for cloning—although many would deny them even this and recommend adoption. Tougher cases abound. What about the couple with predispositions for genetically-transmitted diseases who are very capable of reproduction but don't for fear of transmission? Cloning would be a method to conceive a child without fear of such diseases. What about the couple that desires a child just like one of them, i.e., for narcissistic purposes? Anti-cloners—for lack of a better term—would definitely say that is a wrong reason. What about using cloning for eugenic purposes, i.e., to create 'better' people? Certainly not. In fact, Ian Wilmut himself cannot conceive of a valid purpose of cloning: "For me personally … I still have not heard a suggested use for copying a person that I find acceptable."14
The one scientific argument against cloning is that it flies in the face of necessary genetic diversity. The gene pool must not become a gene bathtub, or humanity will suffer. The fear is that massive cloning would lead to mass plagues as pathogens gain the upper hand in scores of similar immune systems. As one National Public Radio commentator observed, "Diversity isn't just politically correct, it's good science." It is similar to agriculture where cloning and genetic manipulation has been occurring for a long time. If everyone were to use the same hybrid, and that hybrid was prone to a certain pest, there would be widespread crop failure.15
Unfortunately, each of these objections to cloning is erroneous. Cloning is unnatural only in the sense that it is not the process by which humans ordinarily procreate. What does that mean, though? We humans do a great many things that our primitive ancestors never envisioned or were even able to envision. The natural order of things is not an unqualified good. The fatalism of this proposition is very hard to defend when examples of man's achievement are put forth. What if mankind had accepted the inevitability of disease and plague? What if mankind had never sought to ameliorate the human condition and extend the lives of its members? What if mankind had never created the creature comforts that have become standard in the civilized world? Certainly, no one would argue that we would better off if we had remained strictly hunter-gatherers. As British philosopher John Gray said, "For millennia, people have been born, have suffered pain and illness, and have died, without those occurrences being understood as treatable diseases."16
Yet they do argue that science must be halted. A ban on cloning, however, will have incredible consequences. To be sure, they will largely be unseen. Who can count the number of people who would have been saved had some genetic disease been taken out prior to conception? How many infertile couples would have benefited from another option? It is impossible to know, though we do know that these two scenarios would occur. As Ronald Bailey put it, "trying to exercise prior restraint on scientific and medical research is fraught with moral peril."17 Cloning discoveries and advances would lead to cures for AIDS, cancer, Tay-Sachs, and heart disease—geneticists can already see how this may be accomplished using DNA manipulation. To nip this research in the bud is to be a party to the human misery that will inevitably continue. In fact, The New England Journal of Medicine has stated that it believes any ban on research to be "seriously misguided" and that research on somatic cell nuclear transfer needs "nurturing before it can be branded a success or failure."18
This aiding and abetting of human suffering is the real hubris. No one is advocating a government-sponsored eugenics plan or government-sponsored cloning. Anyone who engaged in these activities would be doing so privately and voluntarily. It is quintessential arrogance to think that you alone possess true wisdom and that you therefore must prevent people from harming themselves—that you alone know what's best for them. "We control all other aspects of our children's lives and identities through powerful social and environmental influences and, in some cases, with the use of powerful drugs like Ritalin and Prozac," observes Lee Silver, author of the recent book Remaking Eden. "On what basis can we reject positive genetic influences on a person's essence when we accept the rights of parents to benefit their children in every other way?"19
When we recognize the right of individuals to do whatever they want with their bodies free of government restraint, how can we ban cloning? In 1942, the Supreme Court declared unconstitutional a law that required the sterilization of convicted criminals. It asserted that reproduction is "one of the basic civil rights of man."20 The abortion debate centers around the same issue. How can anyone tell his fellow man what he can and cannot do with his own body?
Moreover, it is not at all clear why cloning is immoral. Certainly, it has been declared to be so by any number of authorities, but why? Cloning has been going on for millennia, under a different name of course—identical twins. The clone would be fully human. True, he would be a different age than his twin but what would that matter? "You should treat all clones like you would treat all monozygous twins or triplets," Dr. H. Tristam Engelhardt, a professor of medicine at Baylor and a philosopher at Rice, argues. "That's it."21 If a clone is essentially an identical twin separated by time, its moral status becomes obvious. It is a human being, period.
Many scary scenarios have been provided showing clones being abused or used for spare parts. This, however, is ludicrous if we understand a clone to be a human being. All human beings, by virtue of existence, have "certain inalienable rights" that cannot be trampled. Therefore, anyone who enacted such scenarios would be guilty of violating the clone's individual rights and subject to prosecution to the fullest extent of the law, as if he had committed such acts on a 'real' person.
Ronald Bailey proposed an interesting thought experiment in an article of his on the subject which clearly illustrates the principle involved:
If tomorrow someone could prove that you were a clone, would you think your life was worth less, that your loves and experiences were devalued? You would be the same person you always were. Nothing would be different simply because you were born from a "previously experienced genome," in the tortured language of the cloning prohibitionists. A clone would likely have no more issues about self-worth and life chances than test-tube babies or adopted children do today.22
This analogy is especially appropriate since clones would bear no external indications of their conception and would therefore face the same issues as adopted children.
The one scientific objection raised is similarly easily dismissed. Crops are not human beings. Whereas agricultural scientists may use one plant for copying, human beings will never clone just one person. It is crazy to assume that there would be millions of versions of one individual running around. That is the only situation where genomic diversity would be at risk. Even then, science and technology would surely be able to control the pathogens much like they eradicated the various diseases that existed in epidemics in earlier times.
If the controversy about cloning is nonsensical, why all the fuss? From the statements I have scattered around this essay, I have concluded that the opposition to cloning stems from philosophical grounds. Although the anti-cloners may couch their antipathy in scientific terms or safety issues, the real motivation is subterranean. Anti-cloning is but one application of a philosophy prevalent today. This philosophy is anti-technology, anti-man, and anti-life.
This anti-technology I mention is best suggested by the 'unnatural' argument. The Industrial Revolution has been assailed for being unnatural. The free world's current luxurious lifestyle has been derided as harmful to the natural world. Those who use this argument would have mankind revert to the status of ten thousand years ago. To them, technology is not an unqualified good and progress something to be stopped. The betterment of man's life brought about by cloning breakthroughs and other related advances cannot be a bad thing. "Without machines and technology, the task of mere survival is a terrible, mind-and-body wrecking ordeal," philosopher Ayn Rand concluded. "In 'nature,' the struggle for food, clothing, and shelter consumes all of a man's energy and spirit…."23 Who could reasonably argue that we are worse off because we live longer and better than our primitive ancestors?
Similarly, proponents of this philosophy are anti-man. They do not regard man as a part of the natural world they revere. "Until such time as Homo sapiens should decide to rejoin nature, some of us can only hope for the right virus to come along," is the way biologist David M. Graber put it in The Los Angeles Times.24 Man, who has unleashed technology on the earth, must control his ways. Man has overstepped the bounds of his domain and must be checked. What rationale could underlie such a premise?
Ultimately, those who are anti-technology and anti-man succumb to anti-life views. Cloning offers hope to those who suffer from horrid genetic diseases and their unborn children. It is of inestimable benefit to mankind. It will help infertile couples—which currently number 15% of the American population25—to realize their dreams of family. To the opponents, people's lives should be "brutish, nasty, and short," in Hobbes' classic formulation. How could anyone be anti-life?
It is hard to imagine that anyone could hold these viewpoints, but they do. Before you is the evidence of such beliefs. Several pieces of legislation seeking anything from a five-year moratorium to an outright ban on cloning are currently before Congress. It is unclear at this time whether or not they will be successful. The future of mankind and our standard of living is at stake. There now exist several diseases for which no cure is known. Without progress in medicine, man's life will suffer. There has always been opposition to new technologies—voices crawling out of the woodwork decrying man's arrogance—and most of the time these new technologies have been implemented. I can only hope that cloning will not be among those that have been restricted.

ME, MYSELF & IRENE A film review by Steve Rhodes Copyright 2000 Steve Rhodes RATING (0 TO ****): ** 1/2
Hollywood's bad boys are back. Those equal opportunity offenders, the Farrelly brothers (writer-directors Bobby and Peter), who gave us 1998's funniest comedy, THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY, turn their insults this time to subjects ranging from black Mensa dwarfs to killer albinos.
The biggest surprise in ME, MYSELF & IRENE is that watching the movie is about as much fun as attending a fireworks display on a rainy Fourth of July. Most of the jokes fizzle like soggy rockets, but a few do burst in a marvelous display of outrageous humor.
The problem with the jokes isn't that they are too offensive but rather that they simply aren't funny. The Farrelly brothers certainly acknowledge no bounds. Their star, Jim Carrey, even defecates on his neighbor's lawn in order to scare up a few laughs. Our admittedly sparse audience found little in the picture worth laughing at. Indeed the jokes that do work are more cute than outright funny. Whereas in THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY I thought I was going to bust a gut, this time I don't recall ever laughing loudly.
Carrey, as Charlie Baileygates (and his alter ego, the nefarious Hank), work for "the world's greatest police force -- the Rhode Island State Police," explains the film's purposely hokey narrator (Rex Allen, Jr.). Charlie is a mild mannered guy who lets people run all over him. When his wife gives birth to black triplets, Charlie is the only guy around who doesn't realize that his wife must have been cheating on him. (The kids grow up to be about 1,000 collective pounds of foul-mouthed wiz kids, doted upon by Charlie. His wife leaves him early in the story so he is left to raise the kids on his own.)
One day, Charlie snaps. His pent-up rage turns him into a "schizo" with an evil personality named Hank. Hank, who has more confidence than ability, thinks he is invincible, which gets him into no end of trouble. This leads to some of the film's best humor. Hank ends up with an unusual milk mustache in one clever scene. Another funny episode concerns his inaccuracy in his morning urination.
As Charlie's sweet companion, Renée Zellweger plays Irene P. Waters, a woman in trouble. Her ex-boyfriend has the EPA after him, and she finds herself drawn into the controversy. Soon corrupt cops (led by Chris Cooper in a wasted role) are chasing her, and Charlie and Hank are along for the ride, trying to defend her. Carrey goes back and forth between characters, enabling him to amply demonstrate his ability to transform and contort his body in remarkable ways. Although I didn't find it funny, his fight with himself is certainly a tour de force of his physical skills.
"Listen Pocahontas," Hank warns Irene. "If you don't put your head to the ground, you'll never hear the buffaloes coming." The Farrelly Brothers should have put their ears to the test screening walls more. If they had, they might have heard that the laughs weren't coming as they should on ME, MYSELF & IRENE.
ME, MYSELF & IRENE runs 1:56. It is rated R for sexual content, crude humor, strong language and some violence and would be acceptable for older teenagers.

23-year-old worker fatally shot in head inside Bronx tobacco shop
by WABCMELROSE, Bronx (WABC) -- A 23-year-old tobacco store employee was fatally shot and a customer wounded inside the business in the Bronx Wednesday night, and police are working to determine if the incident started as an armed robbery.
It happened just after 11 p.m. on East 167th Street, just east of the Grand Concourse, in the Melrose section, where police say a man entered with a ski mask and a gun.
The fatality was identified as 23-year-old Kashka Richards, known as "Kush," while a 32-year-old man was shot in the leg.
"We feel so sorry for his family, we feel sorry for ourselves," shop owner J.J. Ali said. "We lost the great man in this whole hood."
Richards' family and friends are mourning his loss, with his sister telling Eyewitness News that he was a good guy and no troublemaker.
"We've been just crying, haven't slept," Tyuinikia Richards said. "We are just lost, numb right now"
The family says he had been working at the tobacco shop for several years and doing odd jobs in the neighborhood to provide for his 6-year-old daughter.
Mom Carol Richards said she is trying to keep the family together less than 24 hours after finding out her eldest son was gunned down.
"I just wanna know why, that's all I want to know," mom Carol Richards said. "I don't even know how to feel. I just want answers."
Officers were first called to the scene shortly after 11 p.m. for a report of a man who had been shot in the leg.
That man survived, but officers discovered Richards' body in the back of the store. He was dead from a gunshot wound to the head.
"This great man, running for his life, and somebody chased him, started shooting at the store," Ali said. "He was trying to survive. He was running for his life. That's what my worker told me, because my worker was behind the counter."
No arrests have been made and no weapon was recovered, but police say they have a suspect in mind.
"It's just crazy how the bad guys are walking around right now as we speak with a gun, concealed," neighbor Sidney Flores said. "And now that winter's here, you don't know who's carrying a gun with these big coats."
Investigators are no strangers to this block, telling Eyewitness News that police have been called to this same area for gang activity in the past.
