Scientists warn of mass wipe-out

One-fifth of the world’s vertebrates are facing the risk of extinction with the highest ranked risk in Southeast Asia. Luckily, it occurs at a slower pace with the conservation efforts. The core reason for the tremendous decline of the world’s mammals is the devastation of their natural habitats. Agricultural expansion, deforestation and hunting are the primary forces behind accelerating extinction rate. Scientists say that man-made destruction speed up the extinction rate by 1000 times compared to its natural rate. The IUCN said last year the world was experiencing its sixth mass extinction in history and the most recent one is the wipe out of dinosaurs. Therefore, IUCN members have discussed and mapped out a plan to bring to a halt or slow down the decline in world’s biodiversity. Captive breeding programmes and protected areas will be established as the targeted conservation efforts.

Science wakes up to people's increasing ability to manipulate their own dreams

Lucid dreaming which was shown in the movie – Inception is real and becoming more common, experts believe. Britain’s leading authority said that the incidence of lucid dreaming has been on the rise over the last few years. The point is further supported by the result from a sleep laboratory conducted by Professor Mark Blagrove. The result showed that a lucid dream had risen between 10 – 40% since 1980s. Professor Mark Blagrove asserted that lucid dreams have the potential to inspect the neurological divergence between conscious and unconscious self. It showed that people are more capable in controlling their dreams. However, lucid dream has created a controversy as they are hard to monitor and evaluate and some experiments revealed that overall brain activity was still notably different to the waking state. On the other hand, Professor Mark Blagrove said that it might have a role in sifting and consolidating memories. The conclusion is : Dreaming is very subjective and how true the dream cannot be justified.

First patient treated with human embryonic stem cells

A persistent lady who had undergone 10 years of infertility treatment manages to give birth to a healthy baby from an embryo frozen for almost 20 years. However, the newborn of the new baby boy created a controversial issue. Opponents claimed that the baby could be a generation before she was born or to the biological offspring of her mother or her grandmother.
