The body uses cell suicide in immune cell development and function, and in removal of unnecessary or damaged cells. Improper function of the cell death genes is a hallmark of a number of diseases. For example, in AIDS, heart attacks, stroke and degenerative diseases of the central nervous system, cells are lost from excessive apoptosis, the Swedish institute said in its citation

On 'Good Morning America,' Charles Gibson began a conversation with his co-anchor, Diane Sawyer, by saying: 'There's a study from the World Health Organization, this is for real, that blonds are an endangered species. Women and men with blond hair, eyebrows and blue eyes, natural blonds, they say will vanish from the face of the earth within 200 years, because it is not as strong a gene as brunets.' The British accounts were replete with the views of bleached blonds who said hairdressers would never allow blondness to become extinct, and doctors who said that rare genes would pop up to keep natural blonds from becoming an endangered species

Smallpox vaccine, which is made from a live virus related to the one that causes smallpox, is considered the most dangerous immunization. The government owns all American stocks of smallpox vaccine, and because none are licensed now, all are classified as ''investigational.'' Dr. [Julie L. Gerberding] said, absent a smallpox attack, or the imminent threat of one, she still felt the vaccine's benefits do not outweigh its risks for the general public. But, she said: ''We recognize that individual citizens feel that if they understand the risks and benefits of the vaccine, they may choose to have it.'' Dr. Gerberding, Dr. [Anthony Fauci] and Mr. [Jerome M. Hauer] said they met with Mr. [Tommy G. Thompson] several times over the summer to discuss the various options. But Mr. Hauer declined to discuss what was said

Women and men with blond hair, eyebrows and blue eyes, natural blonds, they say will vanish from the face of the Earth within 200 years, because it is not as strong a gene as brunets.' In London, The Sun and The Express both reported that unnamed scientists said blonds would survive longest in Scandinavia, where they are most concentrated, and expected the last true blond to hail from Finland. The British accounts were replete with the views of bleached blonds who said hairdressers would never allow blondness to become extinct, and doctors who said that rare genes would pop up to keep natural blonds from becoming an endangered species

Last Friday, several British newspapers reported that the World Health Organization had found in a study that blonds would become extinct within 200 years, because blondness was caused by a recessive gene that was dying out. The reports were repeated on Friday by anchors for the ABC News program ''Good Morning America,'' and on Saturday by CNN.

For example, [David F. Gordon] said, the AIDS epidemic in Russia is likely to help shape how that country emerges in the post-Soviet era. In Russia, up to one-third of prospective military conscripts are deemed unfit for service because of HIV and chronic hepatitis from drug use, the report said. Gordon also said the AIDS epidemic has the potential to generate political tensions in Nigeria, an important oil producer. He also said the AIDS epidemic could weaken Nigeria's peacekeeping role for the United Nations in Africa. --HHS is conducting a broad management review of its AIDS spending, ordered by HHS Secretary Tommy Thompson. That includes grants to outside groups and includes prevention, treatment and research. [Claude Allen] said he did not know of any other HHS-funded programs that are undergoing similar scrutiny

the AIDS virus -- could harm the economic, social, political and military structure in each of the five countries, a CIA official said in releasing the declassified portions of the council's report. HIV would spark tensions over spending priorities, driving up health care costs and sharpening military manpower shortages, David F. Gordon, a CIA official and the report's author said at a news conference at the agency's headquarters in Langley. Gordon said the AIDS epidemic has the potential to generate political tensions in Nigeria, an important oil producer. He also said the AIDS epidemic could weaken Nigeria's peace-keeping role for the United Nations in Africa

The AIDS epidemic is in a different stage of development in each country, but in all of them the epidemic is at a much earlier stage than it is in the worst affected areas of central and southern Africa. In all five countries, risky sexual behaviors are fueling the epidemic, but the rates of spread differ among the five countries, the agency said
