Current Turmoil’s of Middle East Part II

Current Turmoil’s of Middle East

Part II

In late April 2014 one of the prominent international news items was the USA refusal to grant visa to Hamid Abdutalebi, a senior political advisor to President Hassan Rouhani.   Mr Abdultalebi was to be Iran’s newly appointed permanent United Nation representative.  Whilst it is true that the United Nation building is in New York on US soil two questions needs to be addressed.  He first of these is what legal right or rights does the US relies upon for such a refusal?  The second question is the scope and width of the US’ alleged right to setting dangerous and politically based precedent that affects  sovereign countries nominated representatives to set foot in the US and the UN?  

The stated reason for the US’ action is Mr Abdultalebi’ alleged involvement in the student storming of the US Iranian embassy in Tehran in 1979 after Ayatollah Khomeini returned to Iran and took power in 1979.  The hostages were held for 444 days and were released immediately after Ronald Regan was elected as President and took office in 1980.  Mr Abdultalebi’ reply to the allegation is that he was acted as interpreter to the students on couple of occasions.  The US posted a picture showing Mr Abdultalebi in 1979 outside the US Tehran embassy.

In the last blog on the topic (Part I) I made the point that the Iranian still holds significant grudges and anxiety about the CIA role and involvement in the coup that toppled prime Minister Muhammad Massadegh in 1953.  Those grudges came into open in the storming of the US Tehran embassy.  The reality is that the so called ‘students’ who stormed the embassy were seasoned Iranian secret agents.  They grilled the embassy staff about secretive operations and accused them of being spies.  The Iranian interrogators wasted no time reminding the staff of the US involvement in the coup that toppled Muhammad Massadegh in 1953 and installed the Shah.  The US was helpless and saw this as humiliation that became exceedingly more bitter by failed attempted rescue mission when two helicopters crashed head on in the desert killing and injuring some 15 commandos.  Political observers saw this botched rescue mission as the reason for President Jimmy Carter loss to Ronald Regan.

How can the US legally justify refusing Mr Abdultalebi visa? A rushed Bill that was passed by Congress that would bar anyone from entering the US as a member country representative to the UN was presented to President Obama to sing and became a law.  President Obama did sign the Bill.  The relevant section of the Bill that will bar Mr Abdultalebi setting foot on US soil is aimed at barring anyone who had engaged in espionage or terrorist activities and still pose a threat to national security from entering US.  No prizes to those guessing who decides this threat to US.

US needs to forget and perhaps forgive the 1979 storming of its Iranian Embassy and Iran needs to forget and forgive the US role in the toppling of Muhammad Massadegh painful as this may be to both countries.  Beside this still existing angst there is nothing preventing normal and healthy respectful diplomatic relationship between the two countries.  The alternative is for a move to relocate the UN to another country perhaps in the Middle East!

Current Turmoil’s of Middle East

Current Turmoil’s of Middle East

Part I

In this blog am putting forward the proposition that substantial, if not all the turmoil which the Arab Middle East had painfully experienced, and continues to experience especially over the last two decades including the recent so called Arab Spring, that is still causing running battles and wars especially in Egypt, Iraq, and disastrous war in Syria could be substantially traced back to the overthrow of Muhammad Massadegh, Prime Minister of Iran in 1953.  One may well say that am stretching longbow and credulity to the limit.  However, discerning students of history who follow events and look for immediate and simmering causes may well agree with me.

In an earlier blog headed: ‘Drawing Lines in the Sand’ I made the point that the Versailles Treaty signed after the First World War (WW1) that let the victorious powers, Britain and France, get away with drawing random lines in the sand and making hidden and secret promises is/are the real and continuing cause/causes of the ills currently witnessed in  the Middle East.   My proposition is that the toppling of Muhammad Massadegh in 1953 by the joint operation of British and American intelligence spy networks unleashed chain of events that led to the dictatorial rule of the Shah until his toppling in 1979 by the Imam Ayatollah Ruhallah Khomeini.  The West’ reaction to this development was to strengthening Saddam Hussein in neighbouring Iraq and the immediate outbreak of hostilities that led to the Iran-Iraq war of 1980.  Despite initial Iraqi success by 1983 the tide of war was turning in Iran’s favour.  However, a final peace agreement was not signed between the two countries until 1988. 

Assured that USA would not interfere or be indifferent if Saddam were to redraw and correct one of the lines in the sand drawn by Britain in 1918 separating Iraq’s nineteenth (19^th) province as Kuwait and installing the Sabah Family which had been the dominant Bedawen tribe since 1756 as its rulers.  A year or so after signing peace treaty with Iran Saddam sent his troops to occupy Kuwait and claiming it as the nineteenth province of Iraq.  Despite assurances of indifference the mighty USA had a change of heart and launched what was to become the catastrophic First Gulf War in 1991.  American war machinery mercilessly savaged Iraqi troops, tanks brigades and civilians even after surrendering.  They clearly meant and lived up to the saying: ‘take no prisoners’. That war savagery was followed by crippling sanctions and restrictions causing severe hardship to the Iraqi population including the death of hundreds of thousands of children from malnutrition and at the same time clipping Saddam’s wings.  George Bush, the father, was the President of the USA at the time.  The USA was still and remains to this day planet earth’ sole remaining Superpower.

The 9/11 attack on the Twin Towers in 1981 saw the incumbent President, George Bush (Junior), the son, label Iran, Iraq, and Afghanistan as the Axis of Evil.  Within matter of months of the attack relentless bombing of Kabul commenced followed by invasion and war that is still raging some 13 years later and saw significant military contribution from many European countries including sizeable contribution from Canada and Australia.  Although the purported mastermind, Usama bin Laden, was killed in 2011, the Taliban are as strong, if not stronger than they ever were prior to 1981.

    

Despite the irrefutable and credible evidence of Iraq not possessing Weapon of Mass Destruction (WMD) the son’s penchant for war was unstoppable. In March 2003 American warplanes bombarded Baghdad with relentless ferocity. Within matter of weeks Saddam Hussein and his government were toppled and went into hiding.  Saddam was captured in late 2003 and three years later found guilty of Crimes against Humanity and hanged. 

The elimination of Saddam Hussein created massive power vacuum in Iraq and saw the rise of fundamentalist jihadist groups throughout the Middle East, the Indian subcontinent, and Africa. This rise changed the landscape of security alertness throughout the world and made the Mighty USA more vulnerable to insidious external and internal terrorist attacks many folds to its pre Twin Tower vulnerability.

The savagery and brutality of the current war in Syria, the continuing slaughter and daily car bombing in Iraq, the turmoil in Yemen, the aftermath of the toppling of Muammar al-Gaddafi in Libya, and the unrest in Egypt are all arguably directly attributable to the fall of Saddam Hussein and indirectly to the toppling of Muhammad Massadegh in 1953. 

It is my opinion that if the intelligence services of Brittan and the USA had visionary and learned men who understood the cultural and real history of the Middle East the destiny of Iran would have been entirely different.  It would not be in the least farfetched to say Iran today would have arguably been a beacon of rich cultural democracy setting examples for modern day democracies to emulate including that of USA, Britain,  Western Europe and infectiously the rest of the Middle East.

As far as Israel is concerned the Jews will never forget that it was King Cyrus who allowed those willing to go back to the Holy Land to do so.  Significant number of Jews remained in Iran.  They did in big numbers and build the Second Temple which the Roman destroyed in 70 AD.

In the next blog (Part II) I will look at the relationship between Iran and USA and how this relationship can be mended and solidified if visionary learned men from both sides look at the facts to do with the years 1953 and 1979 and the stigma that still simmers. It is in the long term interest of both countries to bury the hatchet.

PART II

Taree Local Court NSW

The first of the speeding fines on the way to the Gold Coast occurred some 40 kilometers before the Queensland border.  That matter was listed for hearing at Murwillumbah Local Court.  The client flew to the Gold Coast 2 days before the hearing.  I took the first flight from Sydney on the day of the hearing that landed at 8:45 am and was met at the Gold Coast Airport by the client.  He drove me in his rental car to the Court mere half hour drive.  After having coffee in a cafeteria next to the Court I went inside the Court and spoke to the Police Prosecutor.  In view and consideration of the fact that I had flown from Sydney the matter which was number 12 on the List of contested matters was given priority and became number 3.  The Prosecutor informed me that he was having difficulty contacting the Constable involved.  The Magistrate stood the matter in the List till after morning tea break in other words close to 12 noon.  I drove with the client to Jupiter Casino on the Gold Coast and we both had good hearty breakfast.  At 12 noon I was back in Court.  The Prosecutor was still having difficulty contacting the Constable.  The Magistrate gave the Prosecutor until 1 pm indicating that if the Constable was not located and in Court He will be mindful of hearing an application for dismissal.  By 12:50 I applied for summary dismissal the application was granted without opposition.  Three demerit points dismissed!

The hearing in Taree Local Court was coming up in three weeks.  At 5 am on the day of the hearing I drove with the client to Taree arriving just before 9 am.  A vintage experienced prosecutor had conduct of the two matters and the two Police Constables involved were ready and well rehearsed to give their evidence.  Each of the two speed cameras and their tuning fork had valid calibration certificate within the 3 months period prior to the infringement notices.  I thought of raising unique legal argument and a challenge:  Whether Australia’s conversion from the Imperial to the Metric System of measure required sanctioning by the Australian Constitution and whether the conversion was in fact legally valid!  The jaws of the Prosecutor and that of the Magistrate together with the majority, if not all of the other present in Court dropped at the same time.  Both Constables shook their heads in amazements and my client was all smiles and gave me the thumb up.  

‘You can’t be serious’ said the Magistrate. 

‘It’s ridiculous’ said the Prosecutor.  

‘The Australian Constitution adopted the British  Imperial System of Measure, ie, miles per hour instead of kilometers per hour and that section of the Constitution dealing with the Imperial System of Measure had never been formally amended’.   

‘You well know the limited jurisdiction of the Local Courts Mr Abdul-Karim.  But what I am prepared to do is to stay the three demerit points and stay the hearing of the next matter against your client’ said the Magistrate to the chagrin and objection of the Prosecutor.  

My client stood up and said:  ‘I will fund and mount the challenge from the Imperial to the Metric System’.  For a while it appeared like my jaw had dropped!  There was momentary silence in the Court till the Magistrate said:  ‘do you seek anything else Mr Abdul-Karim?’ Trying to collect my thoughts I stood up and said:  ‘no thanks you your Worship’.

The client was ecstatic and started asking question of people outside the Court trying to find the best restaurant in Taree to eat lunch!

Needless to say I did not receive any instructions to mount a challenge in the Federal Court.  On reflection such a challenge was attractive if only for the sheer intellectual argument and may have had some sympathetic ears of some Justices.  But on reflection Australia’s conversion from the Imperial to Metric System of measure may well have offended the Constitution and allowed the Full Court the opportunity to ventilate opinions of how to deal with rectification of the transition rather than striking out that transition. 

That opportunity may well be still open!

 The Law

PART I

This is a tale from my court representation of a client who in a matter of two weeks during Christmas New Year holiday period driving between the Snowy Mountain and Gold Coast, a combined return journey distant of some 2,800 kilometers incurred seven (7) separate speeding fines.  The combined demerit points of the seven fines were eighteen (18).  A fully licensed driver with no demerit points loses his or her license when the cumulative demerit points reach a total of 12.  When a period of three (3) years elapses from the date of incurring first demerit points those points are cancelled.  At the time my client incurred the 18 demerit points he had 6 points left on his license.  The client was a businessman and being able to personally drive is essential to the very survival of his business.  The distance from Sydney to the Snowy Mountains is some 500 kilometers one way.  The client incurred two radar speeding fines on the way up and one radar speeding fine on the return journey.  Besides the monetary fine of some $830 plus the cumulative demerit points losses off his license were 9.

The distance between Sydney and the Gold Coast Queensland is some 900 kilometers each way.  This time the client incurred five demerit point one way and four demerit point the return journey.  Those last four demerit points were incurred one after the other less than 5 kilometers apart approaching the town of Taree.  The client wanted to challenge each of the seven fines and was adamant he wanted to retain his license!  Goulburn, Murwillumbah, and Taree Local Courts were the venue in which this Herculean legal challenge took place and all of the client’s hope of retaining his license hung heavily on my shoulders.  By necessity this challenge required lots of planning, legal tactic, and luck.  

After ‘administrative’ delays of some 6 months the first two speeding fines incurred on the way to the Snowy Mountains came for hearing at Goulburn Local Court.  My instructions in relation to the first fine were that another vehicle overtook my client’s vehicle and the speeding fine should have been for that vehicle not my client.  After tender of the facts sheet the prosecutor called the Constable to the witness box.  I tested the Constable memory suggesting to him that the car which was in fact speeding was a Subaru that had overtaken my client’s vehicle.  The Constable disagreed.  I put the same question in the hypothetical and asked the Constable if in fact a Subaru had overtaken my client’s vehicle it would be possible that my client’s vehicle would, as far as the speeding camera concerned, appear as the speeding vehicle.  The Constable said yes it would be possible!  I put it to him that his hand held speeding camera napped the wrong vehicle and he should have booked the Subaru instead of my client’s vehicle.  On balance the Magistrate agreed with me!  The client escaped the first 3 demerit points!  The following week the other two speeding fines came for hearing.  Having read about the hand held speeding cameras in use by the NSW Police Force the maintenance section attracted my attention especially the requirement and importance of calibration of these cameras.  This calibration must be done every three months.  The calibration must also include calibration of tuning fork which is camera specific.

Each of the bookings was for a speed in excess of 10 kilometers over the limit.  In one booking the excess speed was 16 kilometers in the other 19 kilometers.  I asked the first Constable whether the speeding vehicle registering 116 kilometers could have been other vehicle than my client.  ‘Definitely not’ was the reply.  I asked the Constable about   his familiarity and comfort with the operation of the speed camera and whether the registered speed could be erroneous. ‘Very familiar with the camera, attended course when the camera was introduced’ was his reply.  I asked him when it was that the subject camera was last calibrated and whether he had the calibration certificate.  The Constable looked bit uncomfortable and dug out from papers he had in his possession a calibration certificate that stated the calibration was undertaken 5 months and 3 days prior to my client’s booking.  With full smile the client gave me the thumb up and winked at me. I breathed a sigh of relief.  The client escaped another 3 demerit points.  As luck will have it the same line of questioning followed the Constable in charge of the speed camera registering 19 kilometer over the limit.  When it came to the question of calibration that camera was in fact calibrated within 3 months of the booking BUT the tuning fork was not calibrated! A clean sweep!  The client escaped all 9 demerit points and as he told me with a big smile outside the Court I still smell the fresh air of the Snowy Mountain. 

If you think this client was lucky wait for the next blog when we team up at Murwillumbah, and Taree Local Courts.

Human Dignity and the Market Part 1

HUMAN DIGNITY AND THE MARKET

Part I

For long time I had planned to write a blog about this subject matter but after watching the Four Corners program on ABC1 last night about trade in human organs (mainly kidneys) I said to myself its now or never.

In brief the ABC program focused on two prominent nephrologists one in Istanbul Turkey and the other in Tel Aviv Israel.  The kidneys were purchased from the impoverished in various towns in the Philippines through agents.  The agents, normally middle aged women with iphones awaiting message specifying the particulars required to match the recipient’s either in USA, Canada, Australia, or Western Europe.  The program also focused on all the players involved in the game resulting in the kidney transplant industry. One transaction involved young married man with two children aged five years or under, both bare footed.  This man said that he was told he will get $2,000 for his kidney and showed the scars from the operation and telling the interviewer that he had sold his kidney for $2,000.  Unbeknown to this man was the cut of the agent‘s fees of some $600 leaving him with $1,400 for which he appeared grateful.  Another man who sold one of his kidneys for similar amount said his other kidney was failing and he was in moderate state of renal failure. Neither the Turkish nor the Israeli nephrologists had any compunction with either the transaction or the fees they received undertaking the operations.  To quote the Israel nephrologists: ‘one puts a price on human life and death?’ Perhaps not but officially the trade in human organs is illegal.  Despite the fact both nephrologists were arrested they walked out of court unscathed and both were continuing their busy profession.

Is there any aspect of humanity that distinguishes a human being from God’s other creatures that is still sacred or sacrosanct not caught up with market forces and can not be purchased with money?  Such things as cherished memories, community values, friendship, neighbourhood, believes, secrets other things that distinguish us human?  Probably not!  If someone sees a dollar to be made he or she will either get the story through the written or visual media.  Oscar Wilde once said: ‘one may know the price of everything but the value of nothing’.   That is very true.  If one leave it to market forces one is taking the judgmental argument as the market is neutral.  Ancestral inheritance, walls, ceilings, doors and window that saw generations after generations of the same family imprint their individual stamps one them should the market be the judge of the monetary value?

In the next blog I will deal with the question where market forces and society’s abandonment of responsibility leaving human values to the whims of markets.

Planned Care Agreement. Advance Care Directive. Enduring Power of Attorney

Planned Care Agreement/Advance Care Directive/Enduring Power of Attorney

Part I

Death is often forgotten as the basic law of life.  It can come in any form or shape and more often than not when it is least expected.  But the general human experience is that death comes at old age after an individual (he or she) had enjoyed healthy and fulfilling life and left familial progeny.  The challenge that is often faced by a spouse, child, or a grand child is a decision respectful of mum, dad, grandfather, grandmother, or indeed one’s loved one or carer to end one’s life or prolong one’s agony, suffering and mental anguish.  Would I want one of my grandparents, parent, a wife or a sibling who is in intensive care with tubes and monitors stuck or inserted into his or her body and whose heart had stopped resuscitated? If that loved family member had left a document stating his or her wishes in such situation authorizing family member to make decisions in accordance with those wishes such a document would not only save untold remorse and agony but more importantly disputes and finger pointing between family members.  

The mindset, training, and expectation of health practitioner in emergency and intensive care setting is to treat and resuscitate a frail elderly patient whose most likely wish if he or she had a say is to go peacefully.  The untold fact is that five percent (5%) of patients whose heart had stopped and were resuscitated in intensive care ever make it out of hospital.  Those five percent who do make it often after short period return to die more agonizing death.   Legal issues can and indeed do arise for non intervention by health practitioners who are by no mean immune against civil suits by grieving and disgruntled family member or members.  Indeed this scenario could equally apply if the now deceased patient had left advance care authority or enduring power of attorney spelling out his or her wishes in such scenario.  Whilst there had been some legal decisions whether to treat or not treat it is still an area with wide shades of grey for both the medical and legal professions.  

Treating someone who is elderly against his or her wishes would constitute an assault on that someone especially if those wishes are made with undisputed mental capacity.   They could range from refusal to eat or drink, refusal to have blood transfusion, refusal to be intubated and forced fed or medicated against his or her will.  Imagine an elderly legal or medical practitioner in his or her 80’s blatantly refusing treatment having his or her arms and legs tied to bed and tube inserted to force feed or medicate him or her.  To me this is the most serious form of assault, undignified assault made under the pretence and purported protection of the medical profession though not necessarily against the wider or strict interpretation of the ethics of that profession.  It should, in my opinion be punishable as a crime under the Crimes Act of the State or Territory concerned and carries mandatory jail sentence.

In Part II I will look at recent court decisions and the issues that could arise when a person had entrusted someone with authority to make decisions in accordance with his or her wishes.

Origin of Credit Cards and The Knight Templars

Origin of Credit Cards

&

The Knight Templars

If I were to tell you that the origin of credit cards that all of us carry today to pay our bills, and purchases and to withdraw cash from Automatic Teller Machines (ATMs) started in the thirteenth century some 750 ago you will think I am either mad, telling you a lie, or pulling your leg.  In fact I am telling you the truth, the literal Gospel truth that is supported by an overwhelming body of evidence.

Crusades

Without going into details of either the history or the reasons for the Crusades suffices to say that Europe (the Vatican, France, Germany and Spain) where outraged when on 18 October 1009 AD the Sixth Fatimid (Al-Hakim bi-Amr Allah) in Egypt ordered the complete destruction of the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem.  Pope Urban II arranged people crusade.  This first crusade was annihilated by the Seljuk army when it reached modern day Istanbul.  It was followed by a second crusade of trained army that was assisted by the then persecuted Christian community when they crossed from Constantinople into Syria and Lebanon fighting its way to Jerusalem and bringing that Holy City under Christian control for the next 130 years.  The Knight Templars followed the Crusades and established their private niche in Jerusalem around 1120 AD.  Historian and scholars tell us that the Templars are reputed to having dug around Solomon Temple for a period of some 10 years and held onto secret relics and loots which may have included the elusive Holy Grail.   It is the Knight Templars that set the ‘template and moulds’ in place for the plastic cards that manufacturer of purses and wallets make attractive sleek slots to fit our visas, Master cards, Diners, AMX and number of other financial institution now compete to give and attract customers.  It is hard to believe that what is accepted as a norm today for commercial transactions did in fact started some 900 years ago.  

Once the crusaders had settled in Jerusalem pilgrims started coming from the various European countries.  At best of time the journey from any country in Europe to Jerusalem was hazardous.  In come the highly trained Knight Templars to the rescue.   The Templars established a safe route from Europe to Jerusalem with accommodation and safe escort along the way.  Instead of carrying money or valuables that could be lost or stolen arrangements were made whereby pilgrims deposited lump sum in advance with institution set up by the Templars (modern day banks) and were given vouchers that recorded expenditure incurred on the way to and from and in Jerusalem.  When a pilgrim   returned to Europe all expenses, be they food, accommodation, purchases etc were recorded and tabulated against initial deposit paid by the said pilgrim.  If refund was due it was given and if a shortfall was to be paid by the pilgrim it was paid.   Needless to say the final figure would have included either a lump sum or a scale fee for administrative charges and services provided by the Templars.  

The Templars became popular and rich throughout Europe and soon were seen as economic and curial threat to kings, especially France, and the Vatican.  They were dispossessed of their wealth and their leaders. Especially in France were burnt at stake.  Considerable number of them fled to other parts of Europe especially Scotland, Ireland and the Scandinavian countries.  In Scotland with the financial assistance of the Sinclair Family they built the Rosslyn Chapel, an identical geographical coordinate settings and structural replica to Solomon Temple.

In Scandinavia the Templars fought in the various Nordic wars that were raging at the time and the conclusion of which led to modern day map of Northern Europe.  It is interesting to say the least that the regalia of the Swiss Guards that are responsible for police, safety and day to day functioning of the Vatican is almost identical to that warn by the Knight Templars.    What did the Templars find in 9 plus years digging around the perimeters of Solomon Temple?  Where in the modern day world are these finds mysteriously hidden?  It is interesting to note that the modern day flag of Switzerland is almost a replica of the Knight Templar uniform.  

No this is not Dan Brown this is reality!

Post Mortem Conception: Life after Death

Post Mortem Conception

Life after Death

It is common experience that significant number of human at some stage in their life they either hear about, become aware of or knew someone or some family that shared the scourge and tragic experience of newly married son or relative all of the sudden diagnosed with terminal illness.   Illness that in matter of weeks starts a chain of metastasis ravaging the new husband immune system and turns the lives of the newly married and their family into living hell.  There are number of cancers and blood disorders that once diagnosed its literally impossible to treat or significantly arrest their progress to give the patient any meaningful remission to enjoy semblance of quality of life.   The suffering is not of the patient but also that of the immediate family and close relatives and friends.  The myth that needs to dispelled, is the often held belief that the terminal blood disorder, cancer, or disease started all of the sudden without warning.  Like plants those diseases take time and often grow silent or with minimal disruption in daily living.  Often a salient feature of such insidious diseases is subtle enlargement of lymph nodes in the neck, under the armpit and groin and a patient that had been feeling unwell for while. Such features are more often than not missed in routine medical check ups and visit to general practitioners.

What is often ignored and rarely thought about is that sperms in a male testis and spermatic cord survive up to 36 hours after that male officially declared dead.  Most major hospitals in densely populated areas and cities do have fertility clinics.  If the will of the newly married and now widowed wife (and possibly others) is to fall pregnant to the love of her life there is a real chance she can do so.  The sperms from the testis of the deceased can be surgically harvested and cryogenically frozen.  Thereafter it is a matter for the fertility clinic and the widowed wife to make the arrangement and attempt/s that leads to conception.  If that conception is successful a widowed wife can have as many children from her departed husband as the circumstance allows.  Bizarre as it may seem at first glance the cryogenically frozen sperms of the newly wed deceased husband can, at least in theory, as a donor fertilize and give hope to many women and childless couples.

More often than not it is the will of the newly married deceased to have children and the chances are that he would have discussed this with his wife. Off springs that carry his name and memory.      

When we think about it the genetic material that we as human carry and that distinguish us as individuals, the RNA and DNA (ribonucleic acid and deoxyribonucleic acid) are present in the nuclei of cell of all living species including plants and animals.   Cutting edge research in cellular biology and genetics is now being undertaken in many laboratories around the globe.  It is not beyond the realms of possibility, and more likely probabilities that species long extinct such as dinosaurs can be brought back to life.  These advances raise very interesting highly controversial question both ethically and religiously that none of the major religions had addressed.

Could a parallel be drawn between resurrection after death and the promise of everlasting life for those of us worthy of good deeds and the perpetual giving of life by post puberty male, as in our case a newly married husband whose sperms were harvested within 36 hours after death?  Certainly food for thought and reflection for the adherent religious believers non believers.
