For example Christian conservative groups frequently accuse liberals of trying to give homosexuals a special rights a something that is opposed by a Large majority of americans. / yet the numbers essentially reverse when the Issue is framed As providing homosexuals with the same protections against employment and housing discrimination As everyone else. A a a a a a it is very much an Issue of definition a Garin said. The Survey also found that 53 percent said they were More Likely to support a candidate who backed prayer in  v. V a v but that support dropped precipitously when the question was framed in the context of having a teacher or school administrator select the prayer. So when conservatives push school prayer measures democrats should demand that school officials have no role Garin said. V in All 51 percent of respondents said society a big. Gest problems were attributable to a decline in moral values 34 percent blamed economic and financial pressures on family. And 74 percent said they were More Likely to vote for a candidate who a put top priority on returning to traditional moral values while just 7 percent said they were less Likely to vote for such a candidate. Yet 80 percent said people in government should not let their private religious views be the top Factor in policy decisions. And 41 percent said they would be less Likely to support a candidate closely associated with organizations and views of the religious right. Twenty four percent said they would be More Likely to support such a candidate. The Survey had a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage Points.

Gene scientists aim to isolate culprit linked to hereditary disease Washington a scientists Are closing in on a second Gene that causes the inherited form of breast cancer and Hope to pinpoint it much faster than the four years it took to extract the first culprit. The discovery of a Long suspected second Gene that causes hereditary breast cancer came wednesday amid excitement Over the isolation of the first breast cancer Gene Ever discovered. Scientists with myriad genetics inc., the National institutes of health and the University of Utah pinpointed that Gene called brca1, cloned it and now will use the clone to develop a test for women a risk of hereditary breast cancer. It took four years to isolate brca1 after researchers first Learned it existed. The discoverer of brca2 predicts it wont take As Long to pinpoint the second culprit. A the techniques Are better and we be managed to isolate it to quite a Small area Quot of the cell said or. Douglas Easton of London s Institute of cancer research. A but there s a Large element of luck."5 percent of breast cancer cases Are thought to be hereditary intent a mutated form of Burcal have an 85 percent Chance of contracting breast cancer by age 65 As Well As a highly elevated risk of ovarian cancer t Skot Mck of University of w  genetics and or. Roger Wiseman of Nih isolated Burcal by using sophisticated techniques to tease he pieces of the Gene out of cells and pin them together like a Jigsaw Puzzle a a its the Ctet thing o magic Ive been associated with in my entire scientific career a Wiseman said. Their work unveiled wednesday is to be published in the journal science next month. T also released wednesday was Easton a discovery of brca2, a Gene he says gives women the same risk of breast cancer As Burcal. He studied 15 cancer stricken who did not have mutations in Burcal which is located on the 17th chromosome and uncovered this cancer Gene at work on the 13th chromosome. He narrowed its position to a Small Region of the chromosome and now is working to actually isolate it. A we think that Burcal accounts Lor perhaps half of the inherited cases aim brca2 accounts for a Good fraction or the rest a Easton said. A but we think there is still another Gene to be found
