Pak Lah awarded Nobel prize
In an emergency meeting in Stockholm, members of Karolinska Institute for the Nobel Prize yesterday awarded the 2008 Nobel Prize in Medicine to Pak Lah for his recent discovery in DNA aging.
According to Mr. Bertil Fredholm, Chairman of the selection committee, members decided to move the announcement date from Ocober to yesterday due to the importance of the discovery. “None of us realized that DNA can age and become useless after 10 years. It’s truly revolutionary and eye opening. We couldn’t just sit and wait,” Bertil said. He went on to thank Pak Lah for his contribution to the entire medical community. “I am urging members of Physics and Chemistry selection committees to also give their award to Pak Lah,” he added.
The amazing discovery rocks legal communities worldwide as thousands of inmates and former inmates are now facing new challenge to produce their old DNA to prove their innocence. According to Sue McThem, a lawyer representing a deathrow inmate in Alabama, her client’s DNA was rejected yesterday because his DNA was not from 20 years ago. “Since DNA can change, the judge now wants his DNA from the time of alleged murder,” she said. Dick Long, who was recently released from prison, is facing yet another uncertain future. “Although my DNA doesn’t match the one found on the rape victim, I was ordered back to prison until I can give my old DNA," he said. “I can’t turn back the clock, but I really didn’t do it,” he pleaded.
Furthermore, leading universities are also considering some form of award to Pak Lah. Harvard is about to offer honorary doctorates in Medicine and Law to Pak Lah, while Oxford is going to ask Pak Lah to become its latest Vice-Chancellor. “It will be great for our university to have a leading thinker like him to lead our institution. Furthermore, his son-in-law is our alum. I’m not worthy compare to him,” current VC John Hood said.
