U.N Abandons Treaty to Ban Cloning

          U. N. diplomats abandoned efforts to draft that would outlaw human cloning. They will likely settle for a weaker statement, and won’t seek a widespread ban, officials said. The debate began when Italy introduced a document into the U.N. to stop any attempt at cloning human life. The Belgians objected to the use of the term “human life” in the document, because they fear it would put a stop to all forms of human cloning.

          [1] There is near universal support among the United Nations' 191 members for a ban on reproductive cloning-creating cloned babies. [2] Many countries have wrestled over whether to allow cloning for stem cell and other types of research. [3] Indeed, many researchers believe that stem cells could be used to repair nerve tissue or cure diseases, including Alzheimer's. [4] Stem cells are taken from an embryo and cloned, but extracting these cells kills the embryo. Opponents say that this equal to murder

The Battle of Gettysburg

One of the most important battles of the American Civil War occurred around the small town of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, from July 1 to July 3, 1863. What began as a search for shoes by the Confederate Army quickly escalated into a major battle. As the Confederate soldiers sought new shoes, they unexpectedly encountered Union cavalry stationed west of the town at Willoughby Run, and the battle began. After much fighting and heavy casualties on both sides, the Confederates pushes the Union forces back through the town of Gettysburg, where they regrouped south of the town along the high ground near cemetery.

   Confederate General Robert E. Lee ordered General R.S. Ewell to seize the high ground form the battle-weary Union soldiers “if practical”. Ewell hesitated in the attack, giving the Union troops a chance to establish a stronghold along Cemetery Ridge and then bring in reinforcements with artillery. By the time Lee realized Ewell had not attacked, the opportunity had vanished. Other failures by the Confederates included the generals’ opposition to the attack plans and a lack of information about the Union defense. This combination of errors allowed the Union forces to win a critical victory in the Civil War. By the end, a total of 160,000 men were involved in this fierce and bloody battle

The Battle of Gettysburg

One of the most important battles of the American Civil War occurred around the small town of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, from July 1 to July 3, 1863. What began as a search for shoes by the Confederate Army quickly escalated into a major battle. As the Confederate soldiers sought new shoes, they unexpectedly encountered Union cavalry stationed west of the town at Willoughby Run, and the battle began. After much fighting and heavy casualties on both sides, the Confederates pushes the Union forces back through the town of Gettysburg, where they regrouped south of the town along the high ground near cemetery.

   Confederate General Robert E. Lee ordered General R.S. Ewell to seize the high ground form the battle-weary Union soldiers “if practical”. Ewell hesitated in the attack, giving the Union troops a chance to establish a stronghold along Cemetery Ridge and then bring in reinforcements with artillery. By the time Lee realized Ewell had not attacked, the opportunity had vanished. Other failures by the Confederates included the generals’ opposition to the attack plans and a lack of information about the Union defense. This combination of errors allowed the Union forces to win a critical victory in the Civil War. By the end, a total of 160,000 men were involved in this fierce and bloody battle
