//__**Artificial Jellyfish**__//

This article would be my first pick - as I only encountered it very recently. If this is true, then there would be countless unexplored implications and prospectives in the field of medicine and biotechnology. Building this artificial jellyfish as a 'drug testing platform' would also be a huge benefit for humankind and the progress of science. Aside from the fact that we could break new grounds in the two fields above, unnecessary and cruel animal testing may now be avoided, as the creation of this 'artificial' organism could potentially render animal testing obsolete.

Furthermore, the replication of rat muscle cells to create this artificial jellyfish could be used to repair damaged vital organs in humans.


 * __//Competition between scientists//__**

Science is supposedly for all - from the laboratory to serve society. Science is not a kind of 'competition field' for people to show off their purported intelligence or personal gain. Scientists who purposefully rush through inventions in order to garner fame only will ruin the objective of science itself - especially when the inventions or discoveries themselves turn out to be incomplete/fraudulent. Fortunately though, cooperation between scientists in the form of consortia, think tanks and limited partnerships is the best way to ensure new improvements and greater cooperation between scientists. The Quality of a scientists' work/s is much more important than the prestige attached to it.


 * //__Sleepwalking killers__//**

There has been great debate in the judicial world to decide whether people who commit criminal acts during sleepwalking could, or should be considered criminals or not. Due to current discoveries and considerations however, a criminal act committed under the influence of sleepwalking would be given a lighter sentence, as the defendant in question in such cases are always unconscious in doing the act.

What remains the question however, is whether the crime committed would've been a misdemeanor - such as stealing - or a felony - such as murder or robbery.
