...Given all of the provisos about availability, the decision should make things easier,” Chairman of the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology Douglas A. Melton said...
...cloning vote landed right in the middle of the Summer of Science, in which politicians, reporters and a President have all gone back to school for a refresher course in cellular biology. This was political science at its most scientific--and its most political. It is no accident that the vote came just as George W. Bush is poised to announce his decision on whether to allow federal funding of embryonic-stem-cell research. A majority of Americans and members of Congress favor such research, which holds great promise in curing such diseases as Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and diabetes...
...sold off all its U.S. operations and reincorporated in Singapore; from there it operated a few factories in Southeast Asia and southern China. Flextronics grew steadily through the '90s, leveraging its early presence in Malaysia and China into a solid share of the "enclosures" market--doing final assembly for cellular phones, personal computers and printers. But when the Asian economic crisis hit in 1997, Marks says, "I was all ready to sell it off to Sanmina or Solectron...
...combined Sanmina and SCI, however, will be well positioned to challenge the industry's top players. The new company will offer a powerful mix of full-service manufacturing, from low-end components to high-end finished products. It will make everything from glucose meters to computer printers and cellular base stations. In any given week, its anonymous factories will produce as many as 5 million units of high-tech gadgetry--all bearing other companies' names...
Thursday evening, when President Bush announces whether he will support federal funding of embryonic stem cell research, he will end months of private contemplation and public debate. The path to this decision has meandered through the esoteric world of cellular and genetic research and has focused unprecedented attention on the tantalizing, controversial (and, as yet, largely theoretical) possibilities for treatments, even cures, for our most dreaded diseases. For the President, this is not an easy call. Whatever decision he makes, Bush is likely to suffer harsh criticism...
