Right-Wing Ad Compares Embryonic Stem Cell Research To Tuskegee Study

Wed, 29 Oct 2008 05:04:09 -0400

Up for consideration in Michigan is Proposal 2, a measure to permit embryonic stem cell research. As the NIH has outlined, embryonic stem cells offer the most promise for medical breakthroughs. Currently, Michigan has some of the nation’s most restrictive stem cell laws. In its endorsement of Proposal 2, the Detroit News wrote: Michigan has one of the leading stem cell research centers at More.. the University of Michigan, but scientists there worry that the embryonic stem cell research ban will damage its ability to continue to recruit top researchers. Doug Engel, a professor of cell and developmental biology at the university and head of the department, notes that one of his colleagues, a top stem cell biologist, has already left the university for California because of Michigan’s current laws. […] Sean Morrison, who is head of the university’s Center for Stem Cell Biology, has often noted that under current law, it is legal in Michigan for fertility clinics to discard human embryos, but not to use them for medical research to try and help patients. That makes no sense. Right-wing opponents of the measure have resorted to desperate, “shameless” fear-mongering. A new ad compares embryonic stem cell research to the Tuskegee study, which the Detroit Free Press calls “horribly offensive, race-baiting.” There is no comparison between embryonic stem cell research and the horrific Tuskegee study. In the early part of the 20th century, the U.S. Public Health Service (PHS) took 400 African-American men suffering from syphilis — most of them poor — and promised them “special free treatment.” However, for 40 years, PHS not only withheld treatment so that they could study the disease, but they prevented other agencies from helping them. As the Free Press notes, the purpose of this comparison is solely “to frighten minority communities into voting against Prop 2 by drawing a false connection with past abuse.” This ad is similar to other dangerous right-wing comparisons, such as James Dobson likening embryonic stem cell research to Nazi experiments. Cure Michigan has more facts on Proposal 2 here. Less..

Advanced Short Range Air Defence Missile System

Sat, 16 Feb 2008 14:57:03 -0500

Advanced Short Range Air Defence Missile System ASRAD-R is a modular air defence concept with features such as: 3D surveillance search and acquisition radar Automatic functions from target detection to missile tracking Remotely-controlled sensor and weapon platform Line-of-Sight guidance, unjammable laser beam riding missile ASRAD-R is an all-target missile system with high precision at long ranges down to ground level, for self defence also against armoured ground targets, well suited for protection of mobile units and defence of vital objects. The BOLIDE missile for ASRAD-R utilises the unique and unjammable laser beam guidance of the RBS 70 and provides an intercept range of 8 km. With the BOLIDE missile, the ASRAD-R has an all-target capability, including small targets such as cruise missiles and UAVs. The ASRAD-R weapon system comprises a stabilised air defence platform for integration on vehicles, containerised or pallet mounted, and a weapon control unit for remote control up to 100 m from the platform. ASRAD-R can be mounted on almost any tracked or wheeled vehicle providing the required mobility and protection to match the unit to be defended. The flexible and modular design enable customised solutions. In a fully autonomous fire unit, the HARD 3D radar with integrated IFF system is mounted on the top. The radar can also be installed on a separate vehicle to operate together with a number of fire units. The complete platform can be folded and lowered into the vehicle during transport. However, any configuration can have Battlefield Management/C4I integration. ASRAD-R A joint venture The ASRAD-R project entails the close co-operation of Saab Bofors Dynamics, Saab Microwave Systems and Rheinmetall Defence Electronics GmbH. It is based on the ASRAD platform, used in the German LeFlaSys programme and the laser beam riding BOLIDE missile. A containerised version of ASRAD-R called Container Mounted Air Defence (CMAD), mounted on a Mercedes Unimog 5000 vehicle, has been developed and is in production for the Finnish Defence Forces. System performance With all subsystems and all command and control units integrated with the platform, ASRAD-R has the following: 24 hours capability Automatic target designation and target tracking, with manual override Four ready-to-fire BOLIDE missiles (or other RBS 70 missiles) All-target and armour-piercing capability (incl. ground targets) Intercept range 8 km GPS navigation and positioning Data/Voice Communication 3D radar with 20 km surveillance on-the-move capabilities The platform can, in the folded transport position, be protected against fragments and comes close to stealth protection in some applications. The low profile of the vehicle and folded platform make ASRAD-R air-transportable in most transport aircraft. The total weight of the platform, including weapon control equipment and the HARD 3D radar, is less than 1,000 kg. ASRAD-R has the potential of becoming an integrated part of an air defence network system. A complete exchange of data between co-operating ASRAD-R units provides for the optimisation of all air defence efforts. This also increases the units level of survivability. Parts of the command, control, communication and computers can be customised.
