submitted them to human testing, put them in freezers because they thought they were genetically averse to cold. final they wily they get a chan exploit their land a little bit and this fight tells them they can t. it s very personal. you can have the debate here, you can have the debate on capitol hill, but for them this is their backyard. who is going to decide? it s going to come down to the courts. environmental ngos will sue the government. for the election the midterms could sway this. there are already drills to pull that back out, so the vote will matter, ultimately. i think they took over a million public comments from the department of interior, from all over. they won t say how many are pro or against. if it stays relatively low, will there be a huge profit or windfall from this? no, that s the thing. murkowski is saying we ll make
a wide range of reasons why we clone animals this is definitely this is definitely moving in the direction of medical research cloning monkeys we don t have any we don t raise monkeys for food so what exactly it was so what s talk to us live it more about the significance of this breakthrough or well it s very highly significant because it s going to really smooth down medical testing it s going to make it happen more quickly and easily because if you re working with a group of genetically identical individuals that are actually very close to to human beings evolutionarily then you re going to end up in the end with products that are probably going to work a lot of the time with medical research you go in with mice testing and it works and by the time you get to human testing it doesn t anymore because if the differences are just too great the differences between humans and monkeys are very small are very small is that already raising some ethical questions there for you martin well i
their sheriff, try to cope. it could have been worse, but we feel the loss of one life is bad. reporter: the national weather service on site to determine the storm s strength. i think it was an ef-2. the main determination was the mobile home right behind me that was pretty much demolished. the foundation was separated from the frame of the mobile home. the walls were completely collapsed. reporter: no match for winds well over 100 miles an hour. and this system is not done yet. the severe weather threat extends to the east, and big cities like atlanta will be under the gun. rob marciano, abc news, new york. now we turn to the ebola crisis. human testing of an experimental vaccine has started in the u.s. the vaccine developed in canada is being tested on 40 volunteers in maryland. the vaccine has been shown to be 100% effective on animals.
scientists say they have figured out a way to create a baby with the dna of three parents. this may sound like something out of science fiction, but right now the food and drug administration s advisory panel is debating whether to recommend to the full fda to begin human testing using this procedure. it is nicknamed three-parent in vitro fertilization. and doctors say it has the potential to eliminate things like blindness and epilepsy. things that can be passed down, perhaps, from the mother. sanjay gupta joins me live to explain how this worse works. they may call it three-parent in vitro fertilization, but it sounds like frank and baby to the nondoctors among us. my first inclination is to say what could possibly go wrong, because it sounds so wrong. is it? i don t think so. researchers are obviously putting a lot of faith in these techniques. let me give background, which might make a little more sense. you think about babies, you
getting astonishing scientific results from severe calorie restrictions. decreased cancer risk, increased life expectancy. even improved brain function. my body fat went down from 28% to 20%. and my blood glucose went down from diabetic to normal. my cholesterol went down from needing medication to normal. reporter: but some nutrition experts say it s impossible to know if the diet is safe without more human testing. it s not safe for somebody under 20 or somebody growing or for kids. and it may not be safe for all adults, as well. reporter: but for a throng of brits, his example is good enough to give it a go. i m juju chang in new york. so if you can do the two days of 500 calories and then have your burger, fries and shake? this sounds a little bit like, you know, the eating disorders. it s pretty manic, right? what s that thing called? purging, bulimia, i believe.
