The truth of the UK Family Courts and forced adoption

The linked story is from York. It is another one where the children (who were forcibly adopted and taken to Canada) are returning to their birth mother.

The UK Family Courts decided that it was "in the best interests of the children" to remove them from their mother.

What use is it to have this sort of thing done to families where in the end no-one has won.

The adoptive family lose out, the birth family lose out and the children themselves lose out.

Its the long genes that stop working

People who read my blog will be aware that I have for some time argued that most (if not all) diseases of aging are caused by cells not being able to produce enough of the right proteins. What happens is that certain genes stop functioning because of a metabolic imbalance. I was, however, mystified as to why it was always particular genes that stopped working. Recently, however, there have been three papers produced: Aging is associated with a systemic length-associated transcriptome imbalance Age- or lifestyle-induced accumulation of genotoxicity is associated with a generalized shutdown of long gene transcription and Gene Size Matters: An Analysis of Gene Length in the Human Genome From these it is obvious to see that the genes that stop working are the longer ones. To me it is therefore obvious that if there is a shortage of nuclear Acetyl-CoA then it would mean that the probability of longer Genes being transcribed would be reduced to a greater extent than shorter ones.
