we're now joining us as always bob english now bob a lower hello hello i see about the ethics in the way you work but i do have a giant now first and foremost is it fair to compare the tarp to the more famous paulson paulson fund and ethically on what are the implications behind you know basically betting on something that you helped designed to fail i mean it's a simple ethical question but there are ethics in wall street we can get into a long discussion you're right yes i think the deal itself was very similar between magnetar impulse and it was rather brilliant you can buy something and participate in the revenue stream of it while at the same time if it's bad enough when the entire market turns down it's going to be the first to fail and then you can collect on the insurance contracts so it's a nice way to make money paulson made a billion dollars looks like magnetar made a sizable chunk though is that at the cole well guess what the broker or the underwriter who's packaging this stuff together and selling it to somebody else doesn't necessarily have a few do sciri duty to that

just about the ethics. the question of whether it's ethical and wise to keep these animals in captivity. there is a trainer safety issue, and that's also part of the story. but i think most people come away tr the movie trying to answer that question. if you take large highly intelligent, self aware animals, there are very few species that are self aware like humans are and you put them in an environment like seaworld, which is not a very natural environment. most zoos have very natural environments and they teach audiences about the natural histories of the animals. seaworld is about one thing. entertainment. entertainment is fine, but you have to ask the question at what cost to the animals? that's the question presented in the movie. >> i would like to hear from you on this. i know you're somebody closer to this whole world. you have a real connection with this world of training animals, et cetera. et don't understand the justification having now seen this film. let me set the question up and you tell me

for "religion & ethics newsweekly," i'm saul gonzalez in los angeles. >>> a sikh professor at columbianiversity who was beaten up last week says it's more important that the perpetrators are "taught rather than caught." a group of teens assaulted dr. prabhjot singh, calling him "osama" and "terrorist." the interfaith community has urged the fbi to investigate it as a hate crime. the attack comes on the heels of a new report which found that 70% of americans labeled people who wear turbans as muslim, hindu, buddhist or shinto. in fact, nearly all turban wearers in the u.s. are sikhs. >>> pope emeritus benedict has been living quietly inside vatican city, but this week, he had a rare public statement. a newspaper published benedict's response to criticism from a prominent atheist. the retired pope defended his record on clergy sex abuse, saying he had never tried to cover up the crisis. >>> meanwhile, benedict's successor received a warm welcome during a trip to the island of sardinia. catholics around the world continue to shower pope francis with high praise. >>> that's our program for

do they bring up any ethical issues for you? >> enormous ethical issues. but let me say this discovery, the ability to sort of see what the biological clock is, organ by organ, traumatic brain injury by tissue, demonstrating that, in fact, our bodies age at different raises inside ourselves, that's really important. i know some viewers may say if you can't reset my clock, what do you care? call me you can when i can be rejuvenated but this is major stuff because it allows us to say, hey, maybe you are going to need an organ trans plant if your liver is aging particularly rapidly or if a cancer is near tissue and that looks abnormally older. dr. harvath has a great breakthrough here? >> thank you. >> stem cells are very, very exciting. we don't know how to do this rejuvenation with them yet. we are trying to do research with them but probably the biggest question they raise is: if you could rejuvenate, you have to be thinking, look, it better be my entire cell system because you don't want to be in situations where your body is rejuvenated and your head is

loopholes are usually put in place for a reason. >> kroft: for example, when congress passed the ethicseform act of 1989, it plainly stated: "a member shall convert no campaign funds to personal use." but soon afterwards, congressional leaders quietly invented something called leadership pacs-- political action committees-- that were not technically campaign funds, and thus exempt from the personal use prohibition. this is a loophole? >> trevor potter: right. that's correct. >> kroft: trevor potter is a former chairman of the federal election commission. he says it didn't take long for congressmen and senators to figure out the distinct advantages of having a leadership pac, with no restrictions. >> potter: since they weren't around when the ban on personal use was put into place, they're not covered by it. and they can be used for literally anything. >> kroft: over time, the leadership pacs that were created as a way for congressional leaders of both parties to raise money and distribute it to their members have evolved into something different. today, nearly every congressman and sena

a question of whether it's ethical to have them for an entertainment show and making profit. >> let me just say, i did hundreds of killer whale shows in my early career. you're right, they're fun i don't see therein any problem with a fun but informative program. it might not be the kind of dry information you might see at other programs, about you it certainly has a way of grabbing people's attention and instill an empathy, that passion for preserves species. just because it's fun doesn't mean it's not ethical and not the right thing to do. >> the truth is there's almost no natural history in seaworld shows, you go to the show which dawn helped create, and you don't learn any facts about killer whales. the act that is seaworld does portray, they often portray them incorrectly. to tell them what they're like in the wild will raise questions in people's minds why the killer whales are in these pools. >> like i said, i've done a lot of shows, and it talks about the powerful ability as predators, talk about their -- so i think it's disingenuous to say there's no conservation message go
