::Sure, the article talks about the law of biogenesis, which states that all living things must come from living things. Ribosome biogenesis, although similar in title, is a completely different process.
::Ribosomes are, as you correctly identified, parts of cells where proteins are produced. However Schwann's cell theory states that a cell is the basic unit of life, and using this anything smaller than a cell is classified as non-living (a virus, for instance). As a ribosome is only a component of a cell then it does not have life of its own.
::In short, the article talks about living things coming from living things instead of non-living things, the picture shows a non-living thing being produced by a living thing. Hope this clears it up. [[User:TheGySom|TheGySom]] 08:48, 28 March 2008 (EDT)
