The science increases the knowledge through strict rules
México. - The science as opposed to the literature, it does not admit fiction. The arts enrich the life thanks to the imagination, to the beauty, to the peace that tends to offer. The sciences strengthen the existence by means of their discoveries, by the problems that solve, because improve the life conditions. The arts are nourished of the life to elapse and of the contact between human beings; grow therefore they observe and except when are used with propagandistic end, as happened in Germany Nazi, become beneficial and innocuous.

The sciences formalize the knowledge by means of very strict rules. Their contributions always they are welcome: only they injure when they are used to shatter Hiroshima and Nagasaki, or when they are proven chemist’s drugs in human beings without be attached to ethical codes. The fiction does not injure. The science when vulnerary ethical laws, produces misfortune. Neither the science nor the art have frontiers.

Some scientific conquests in addition to producing admiration, generate preoccupation Craig Venter, one of the parents of the genome human and his group, informed a few days ago the creation of a bacteria. This finding puts an end to one of the large dogmas of the biology: the cells, what is mean, the life. To break biological paradigms is an immense event. Other ingredient non-sideways is that Venter combines his great scientific capacity with his commercial impetus: it is founding and co-owner of the company Synthetic Genomics.

The scientific scopes provide some problems. The wrong use of the science deepens the differences between riche and poor, is sold to the better bidder. The scientists well know that the intellectual property is not the better flag when it is considered to shorten the distances between different groups of human beings. Not in vain some scientific of old vine-stock as Jonas Salk, discovered the verbal vaccine against the poliomyelitis, Salk was tending to say that the science cannot it neither it must be patentable.

Peaceful applications of nuclear energy
The National Institute of Nuclear Investigations (ININ), their working, investigating, professions’ men, technical and personal of support (Sutin), have as material of work the investigation and the development in sciences and nuclear technologies. In spite of the insufficient resources that receive from the institution and from the policies nonexistence in the matter, they have achieved important advances above all in social interest projects, between those which emphasize the production of radioisotopes for diagnostic and various diseases treatment, particularly for relief of the pain in cases of cancer, as well as the creation of a fabrics bank radio - sterilized used in the burns treatment, and for diabetic.

Furthermore they have been accomplished basic investigation projects that permit us to advance the frontier of the knowledge and to form scientific resources for the Nation. It is reconvert also a irradiator Gamma, for its use in the foods and sterilization preservation of surgical products, and it was created to proposal of the Union unique of workers of nuclear industry - Sutin -. Abounding, they are given fundamental services to maintain in optimum conditions the Central Nuclear of Laguna Verde, to increase its power and its useful life with the corresponding electrical generation.

Nevertheless lack much to make of the nuclear institution with peaceful end a use most adequate of the economic resources and the infrastructure acquisition than permit to it to unstick as institution to answer to the needs of the nation. In this sense can not let of insisting on other aspects that aggravate the problems of the institution, derivatives from the governmental policy. One of the most relevant is the lack of definition of a long-range national policy in nuclear energetic matter, what should consider the convenience of counting on central nuclear of new generation that permit to diversify the sources of energy and to reduce the emissions of effect gases greenhouse.

Other circumstance that affects to the ININ is the nonexistence of a real political in science and technology, that locate it as a strategic activity and not as a pretext to give fiscal benefits to transnational companies that send the lion's share of their earnings abroad and they do not generate work places for the Mexican worker. A national science policy and technology, in the one which the government must commit its resources to assault problems as the derivatives from the global warming, that Mexico has not been added even though it has signed multiple social commitments with the other countries in the world.

In this context the investigation and the technological development play a role fundamental national, global in the climatic change and as alternative of thrifty energy of our oil for the companies that are established in this Mexico advanced technologically, and defending our sovereignty to establish more Central Nuclear generating of electrical energy.
