Some articles

Here are some interesting articles that I read:

- this article claims that as salaries get higher and higher in Bangalore, outsourcing will move away from India (or at least Bangalore) and to China.

- the other interesting article was mentioned on digg here. It seems in Ukraine there is a scam where they declare babies to be still-born but then they kill healthy new borns to sell their organs. Also it seems they harvest them for stem cell. I didn't realize babies also had stem cells (i thought it was only embryos) but then I read the following comment on the digg page:

"The idea is to pretend that the babies are stillborn so that you can take their body. Then you can harvest stem cells from bone marrow (FTA), and trade their organs. It is supposedly easier than harvesting stem cells from embryos as there are in larger amount in the bones of a full-term babies than in aborted foetuses or in embryos (supposing it's not banned). But IMHO the primary goal is harvesting hard-to-find newborn organs, stem cells being a plus."

It's a scary world we live in.
