http://search.theregister.co.uk/?q=Stuxnet+US and Russia to give uranium to ANYONE
'No, you really don't need your own enrichment plant'So the US is making more nuclear fuel. And they're willing to offer that fuel, alongside the Russians, to countries who cannot get nuclear fuel for political reasons. Recklessness carried to extremes, surely? Well, no, that's not quite what is going on at all. What is going on is that the US and Russia are continuing to take …
PLCs a prison vulnerability: researchers
Now there’s a jailbreakHard on the heels of warnings that critical systems in America are vulnerable to Stuxnet-style attacks, a group of security researchers says SCADA systems and PLCs make prisons vulnerable to computer-based attacks. In a white paper published here, Teague Newman, Tiffany Rad and John Strauchs say the use of PLCs (programmable …
Stuxnet clones may target critical US systems, DHS warns
Code samples raise concerns of variantsOfficials with the US Department of Homeland Security warned that hackers could attack the country's power generation plants, water treatment facilities, and other critical infrastructure with clones of the Stuxnet computer worm, which was used to disrupt Iran's nuclear-enrichment operations. Stuxnet was first detected last …

Eight of them topics themselves.The Times has thought we did it to them.http://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/02/world/middleeast/02iran.html?scp=5&sq=Stuxnet&st=cse"The fact that Iran is declaring that its production will exceed its needs has reinforced the suspicions of many American and European intelligence officials that Iran plans to use the fuel to build weapons or to train Iranian scientists to produce bomb-grade fuel.
Describing the new facilities in an interview with the news service, the Islamic Republic News Agency, Mr. Abbasi, who narrowly survived an assassination attempt last year, said that a 2009 proposal for the West to supply Iran with new fuel for the small research reactor, in return for an end to Iranian production of the fuel, is dead."

Making Laws About Making Babies - Room for Debate
In America, one sperm donor can have 150 or more offspring. Other nations would not allow this. Should the U.S. emulate their stricter laws?-
Start With Some Hard Questions
Robert G. Brzyski, American Society for Reproductive Medicine ethics committee
Sounds like most of the problems are dealt with.
Reasonable caution we can deal with. Privacy must be guarded.
Questions that do not bear on Identity can be asked and answered if answers are available.

Rules Can Hurt the Vulnerable
Sujatha Jesudason, executive director, Generations Ahead
I still see no reason to regulate. Using a donor is the potential mother's choice. Choosing a donor should be an informed choice.
If the information is not satisfactory, use a different sperm bank.
-
A Private-Sector Problem
Charles A. Sims, president, California Cryobank
These practices are a violation of privacy. I would not chose this institution either as a donor or a recipient.
-
End the Anonymity
Naomi R. Cahn, law professor and
Wendy Kramer, Donor Sibling Registry
I see no reason for any of this. Mother's choice. She can shop for a donor and is not required to choose from a limited pool.
-
Bias Against Gays and Lesbians
Beth Littrell, staff attorney, Lambda Legal
This residual from the first years of H.I.V. should be struck.
HIV status should be checked at the time of donation for all donations. It is not GRIDS any more.
-
Proceed With Caution
Lori Andrews, professor, Chicago-Kent College of Law
Interesting problem. What is owed to the child of a sperm donation by the donor is nothing at all. Mother's choice in using a donation.
-
Wild West of Fertility
Debora L. Spar, president, Barnard College
She is unnecessarily worried.
I see no way to regulate without violations of privacy.
Genetic testing will resolve questions of consanguinity.

Restoring the Human Connection
Colton Wooten, writer
A child of sperm donation would know his male parent and possible half siblings.
Mothers who choose sperm donations choose to have a father free or father arbitrary child. It is the mother's choice. The child as usual has no voice in the matter.

A Rush to Pass Laws
Jamie Grifo, program director, N.Y.U. Fertility Center
Argues for regulatory restraint and caution.

Lawlessness Has Had Its Upsides

Will Culture Clash Splinter the European Union? - Room for Debate
The euro was supposed to unify Europe. Is it only magnifying the north-south cultural differences instead?Economics will splinter the Euro. The Greeks cannot pay the debt they have. Increasing it will not get it paid. The French and German governments have promised to support their banks. They may love Greece but the Greeks must default on their debts. -
At MoMA, Paying for Quality - Room for Debate
Even with budget cutting, running a world-class art museum is an expensive proposition.This was never the question.The price of admission is "What the traffic will bear." -
A Supplement to Congregating - Room for Debate
Religious leaders need to use these sites to deepen the communal bonds that are so central to our individual faith journeys.However you wish. I have signed no book. -
The Lack of Regulation Has Been a Boon - Room for Debate
The fertility business needs regulation, but we’ll miss the lawlessness when it’s gone.The present rules seem to be sufficient.

Stuxnet Worm Used Against Iran Was Tested in Israel
“I thought this was so interesting - Stuxnet Worm Used Against Iran Was Tested in Israel - http://nyti.ms/gX0VtZ”Probably true.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuxnet
I think it was built in Idaho and tested in Israel. We probably should not have opened that can of worms.
Iran seems to be going rational.
Let us help them do that if we can.
Diplomatic relations are always a good idea.
