Report Copyright Violation | British stem cell scientist John Gurdon wins Nobel prize [ link to www.bbc.co.uk] 8 October 2012 Last updated at 11:17 ET Help British scientist John Gurdon has been awarded the Nobel prize for medicine or physiology. His 1962 clone of a frog eventually give rise to Dolly the sheep, the first cloned mammal. He shares the award with fellow pioneer of stem cell research Shinya Yamanaka, with the Nobel committee saying the pair had "revolutionised" science. Prof Gurdon told a news conference that, when he received a phone call informing him he had won, he thought someone may have been "pulling his leg".

John F. Kennedy Inaugural Address
Lincoln's economic advisor Henry C. Carey explained the universal issue in his 1851 Harmony of Interests:
"Two systems are before the world.... One looks to pauperism, ignorance, depopulation, and barbarism; the other to increasing wealth, comfort, intelligence, combination of action, and civilization. One looks towards universal war; the other towards universal peace. One is the English system; the other ... the American system, for ... elevating while equalizing the condition of man throughout the world."
"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former." - Albert Einstein |
