First Mexico fatal flu victim

“This strain of influenza contains viral code fragments from:
Human influenza
Bird Flu from North America
Swine flu from Europe
Swine flu from Asia
This is rather astonishing to realize, because for this to have been a natural combination of viral fragments, it means an infected bird from North America would have had to infect pigs in Europe, then be re-infected by those some pigs with an unlikely cross-species mutation that allowed the bird to carry it again, then that bird would have had to fly to Asia and infected pigs there, and those Asian pigs then mutated the virus once again (while preserving the European swine and bird flu elements) to become human transmittable, and then a human would have had to catch that virus from the Asian pigs -- in Mexico! -- and spread it to others. (This isn't the only explanation of how it could have happened, but it is one scenario that gives you an idea of the complexity of such a thing happening).” From Natural News

“SCIENTISTS FIND NEW WAY TO CREATE STEM CELLS”
“Scientists have converted adult cells into embryonic-like stem cells by using chemical programming instead of genetic manipulation.
Gene manipulation is an older method that has posed the risk of serious health problems such as cancer, the researchers explained…

  1. first part: lots of conflicting reports :0/

    second part: chemical over-ride of cell development/differentiation probably.
