professor of emeritus studies at nyu in princeton says this, what he had to say. >> if we give weapons to kiev they will use them against the cities of the east as you said. the numbers you say about the dead -- >> tbean --5300. >> that's way low. >> what do you say providing weapons to the ukrainians just will provide more death? >> i think if we don't provide more weapons to the ukrainians there will be more deaths. until the separatists and russia know there's a consequence to what they're doing and have some kind of resistance on them we'll continue to see more and more deaths. i think it's cynical to think that all of a sudden, the russians are going to stop doing what they're doing or the separatists, and so the argument could be made the other way. by virtue of the fact that there's something resistance it might just make russia in this case putin think twice. i think the russian people would be very, very skeptical about the fact that if they started having casualties, if casualties mounted against them, i think popularity of putin would probably be pushed. and so i think the f

assistant professor at nyu school of medicine. dr. devi, break this down for me. dangerous is it for folks out there? are you safe it if you had your shot? >> you're not totally safe if you had the shot but that is the best option. generally speaking the measles vaccine is pretty effective. some people don't get the measles vaccine right? people under age one babies too young to get the shot. so they're always at risk. you also have folks who are older. say they have some problem with their immune system whether cancer hiv diabetes. they might have had vaccine but still a little bit of risk. melissa: so everybody, in the newspapers, this is huge in the media. blaming it on this trend in parents who are not getting their kid vaccinated because they believe it leads to other problems. is it fair to blame this outbreak on folks who are not getting vaccinated? >> i wouldn't blame them but there is combination of factors. in other countries for example people aren't required always to get the vaccine. so you have foreign visitors who come here who might have had measle

and here to explain it is professor of anesthesiology and rehabilitation of nyu school of medicine. topic, people are saying, what three parents producing one baby? how does that work. >> when we think of the fertilization, we usually think of the sperm entering the egg and the zdna fusing together. it's in what it's called mitochondria in some women these mite toeochondria might already have some problems with them. so when they get passed from one generation to another, they might get passed with mitochondrial changes. you might tooirk mitochondria from one woman, and the rest of the dna from the other woman. >> so it would still be the woman who's having the baby, her genetic child, but you would fix the mitochondria from a different woman. so many questions about this, is it necessary? that's one thing, if a person could adopt or use other techniques to have children, let's say an egg donor or a surrogate, they could still have children, so is it necessary to do this. so it's something they have to way to do this. there's a few things, there's the science and there's the philoso
