美国圣巴纳巴斯医学中心下属的圣巴纳巴斯生殖医学与科学研究所（The Institute for Reproductive Medicine and Science at Saint Barnabas , IRMS）培育出30名转基因婴儿的消息实在令人震撼，但是该消息有不少有待证实的地方，例如相关报道在2001年就曾经出现过。据Wiki记录，他们早在1997年就已经通过细胞质移植的方法培育出第一例婴儿。 在CNN2001年的报道里，就出现了“30个婴儿”这样的数据！ http://archives.cnn.com/2001/TECH/science/05/05/US.genes/index.html 相关报道中，该机构不认可“转基因婴儿”这种说法，他们在2001年就曾回应过，说明细胞质移植与转基因的区别。 昨天该中心的一位负责人在机构网站上回复网友留言，再次对“转基因婴儿”说法进行了否认。 回复者Serena H. Chen是圣巴纳巴斯医学中心妇产科生殖内分泌科主任，同时是IRMS卵子捐献项目负责人。 下文翻译自IRMS网站： 问题：真的假的？ 答复：IRMS确实有进行细胞质移植的相关研究，将捐献者提供的卵子的细胞质，移植到来自患有不孕症、试管受精多次失败以及胚胎活力低下的妇女的卵细胞。细胞质里含有一些来自线粒体的基因，这些基因可以经母亲遗传给后代，但是与通常所说的来自细胞核的基因（例如决定眼睛颜色）不同。线粒体基因不是用来修饰以产生或选择特异形状的基因类型——那些属于细胞核基因，所以对于细胞质移植创造新物种的担忧是毫无根基、凭空想象的。 此类疗程已经被IRMS以及来自美国和全世界的科研机构所实施，其中IRMS有最多的受孕记录。因为缺乏足够研究经费，以达到FDA同意继续研究的要求，该疗程已经终止。Jacques Cohen博士是该项研究的领导者，你可以通过检索他的名字了解更多相关细节。 希望这些能澄清相关传闻！ IRMS did have a study on Cytoplasmic transfer which involved transfer of donor cytoplasm into eggs from women with a history of infertility, multiple failed IVF cycles, and poor embryo quality. The cytoplasm contained some genes from mitochondria - these genes can be passed down from the mother to her offspring but are different than the conventional genes from the nucleus which determine things like eye color, etc. Mitodhondrial genes are not the types of genes that would be modified in order to generate or select for particular characteristics - those are nuclear genes, so the fear that this could create "new races" is unfounded and sensationalist. These types of procedures were performed at IRMS and other centers in the US and around the world - IRMS has the largest number of pregnancies reported from this procedure. The procedure is no longer performed due to lack of funding for research required by the FDA to continue the process. Dr Jacques Cohen was the lead investigator. You may be able to find more detailed information about the findings by searching on his name. Hope this clarifies! 综上，这又是无聊媒体记者别有用心的炒作，敢如此大胆挑战伦理底线的异类还未现身…… Serena H. Chen话中有话， 也许是 Jacques Cohen博士为了宣传细胞质移植治疗不孕症，争取经费支持而策划也未可知啊，哈哈哈，腹黑
許多人以希特勒是素食者來對素食主義進行抹黑，這種邏輯不值一駁。 因為希特勒、納粹暴行與素食之間毫無必然聯繫，即使希特勒是素食者，也不能為納粹暴行辯護，也不能以此來攻擊素食者。 但是，事實上，希特勒是素食者的說法，也不過是訛傳，有證據表明：希特勒並不是素食者。 相關說法應該糾正了。 ================================================== http://bbs.gogodutch.com/thread-546152-2-1.html 紐約時報刊登更正啟示說明 希特勒 不是素食者 紐約時報在3月15日的報紙上刊登一項更正啟示，打破以往認為希特勒是素食者的迷思。 該更正啟示上，紐約時報註明：「一篇關於電影《Downfall(希特勒的最後12夜，又名帝國的毀滅)》的評論對於希特勒的飲食描述是不正確的。雖然該電影將希特勒描述為一位素食者，事實上他是吃肉的。」 該更正啟示雖然只有短短的66個字，但長久以來將希特勒認定為素食者的迷思，經常被拿來敗壞素食者的形象，該更正讓素食者不再與希特勒過去所做過的兇殘惡行劃上關聯。 紐約時報是根據北美猶太人素食協會(Jewish Vegetarians of North America)所提供的許多一手史實資料做如上的更正啟示。這些資料顯示希特勒後來雖然因為健康因素而避免吃肉，但在他的正餐中，依然包括有肉類食品，最常見的是巴伐利亞香腸、火腿與鴿肉。 這些文件包括來自希特勒廚師Dione Lucas在一本書中所寫的資料，當中Dione Lucas說希特勒在他晚年有時候表現出是一位素食者的樣態，但他不是一位真正的素食者，而且經常或偶而吃肉與其他動物產品包括魚子醬。這位希特勒的女廚師甚至表示，希特勒最喜歡的一道菜是乳鴿肉。 詳細內容請參閱： http://www.prweb.com/releases/2005/3/prweb219804.htm http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9C02EEDA123CF936A25750C0A9639C8B6 ========================================================================================== 根據所提供的鏈接，看來是2005年的事。 ============================================================================================== http://www.prweb.com/releases/2005/3/prweb219804.htm New York Times Corrects Article on Hitler: Refutes Longstanding Myth that Hitler was a Vegetarian The New York Times issues a correction that smashes the long held belief that Hitler was a vegetarian. Sources for Hyler eating meat are given. (PRWEB) March 20, 2005 The March 15 New York Times "Corrections" box included the following important item on page 2: "A film review about 'Downfall,' which looks at Hitler's final days, referred incorrectly to his diet. Although the movie portrays him as vegetarian, he did eat at least some meat." While small in size, the correction represents a major victory for truth, since the myth of Hitler’s alleged vegetarianism has long been used to try to discredit vegetarians. If this inaccuracy is repeated in the future, as it likely will be, one can now refer to the nation’s "Newspaper of Record" to set the record straight. As documented below, numerous published accounts and first hand sources have confirmed that Hitler's diet included meat. At times Hitler evidently refrained from eating meat (and using alcohol and tobacco), as a response to his many health problems, but his normal diet, and the food served at his retreats and residences, included poultry and meat, most often Bavarian sausages, ham, liver, and pigeons. Indeed, the Nazis banned vegetarian organizations in Germany and the lands they invaded and occupied. The JVNA thanks the Times, especially its public editor Daniel Okrent and his associate Arthur Bovino, for their great public service of helping to put to rest this pernicious myth. This effort involved many hours of research, copying, and sending information to the Times, primarily by Atlanta writer Lewis Regenstein, president of The Interfaith Council for the Protection of Animals and Nature, with help from JVNA president Richard Schwartz, Micah Books publisher Roberta Kalechofsky, and author Rynn Berry. The JVNA also expresses the hope that other writers who have recently circulated the myth of Hitler’s vegetarianism, including columnist David Shaw of the Los Angeles Times, and writer/commentator Ben Stein, will also issue corrections. Material sent to the NY times to influence their decision included the following: Robert Payne's authoritative "The Life and Death of Adolph Hitler" (Prager, 1973) states on page 346: "Hitler's asceticism played an important role in the image he projected over Germany. According to the widely believed legend, he neither smoked not drank, nor did he eat meat...Only the first was true. He drank beer and diluted wine frequently, had a special fondness for Bavarian sausages... His asceticism was a fiction, invented by Goebbels to emphasize his total dedication, his self control...He could claim that he was dedicated to the service of his people. In fact, he was remarkably self indulgent... Although Hitler had no fondness for meat except in the form of sausages and never ate fish, he enjoyed caviar..." Armaments Minister Albert Speer's autobiography, "Inside the Third Reich," (Macmillan, 1970) indicates that meat was served, in substantial amounts, at Hitler's meals. Page 89, in the chapter "Obersalzberg," describing Speer's move to the mountain, states that "Hitler usually appeared in the lower rooms late in the morning...The day actually began with prolonged afternoon dinner. The Food was simple and substantial: soup, a meat course, dessert..." Page 119 of the chapter "A day in the Chancellery" states, "Such was the 'Merry Chancellor's Restaurant', as Hitler often called it...The food was emphatically simple. A soup, no appetizer, meat with vegetables and potatoes, a sweet.....Hitler was served his vegetarian food...and those of his guests who wished could imitate him. But few did... It was Hitler himself who insisted on this simplicity. He could count on its being talked about in Germany," p. 128 describes how Hitler enjoyed gorging on caviar, eating it by the spoonful: "For a few weeks, Hitler actually ate caviar by the spoonful with gusto, and praised the taste, which was new to him. But then he asked Kannenberg about the price, was horrified, and gave strict orders against having that again. Thereupon, the cheaper red caviar was served him. But that too was rejected as an extravagance....the idea of a caviar-eating Leader was incompatible with Hitler's conception of himself." No real vegetarian would eat caviar, given the wasteful cruel way in which it is produced -- by ripping or cutting open the belly of a female sturgeon full of eggs (roe), thus killing a mother sturgeon and thousands of potential offspring. (As a result of over-harvesting, the source of the world's best caviar, the sturgeon in the Caspian Sea, are now considered threatened with extinction.) The references above, plus writings by Dione Lucas, Hitler's chef, clearly document that while Hitler in his later years sometimes posed as a non-meat eater, he was not a real vegetarian, and did frequently or at least occasionally eat meat, fowl, and other animals products (eggs, caviar) always served them to his guests. Rynn Berry points out in his recent book, "Hitler: Neither Vegetarian nor Animal Lover," that the woman chef who was his personal cook in Hamburg during the late 1930s was Dione Lucas. In her "Gourmet Cooking School Cookbook," she records that his favorite dish - the one that he customarily requested - was stuffed squab (pigeon). "I do not mean to spoil your appetite for stuffed squab, but you might be interested to know that it was a great favorite with Mr. Hitler, who dined in the hotel often."
