Though cattle are often reproduced artificially - using in vitro fertilization, for example - and though cloning is just another form of reproduction as far as scientists are concerned, the public is somewhat less phlegmatic about the technology. "You can't lobotomize people's brains to keep their morality from affecting their clinical understanding," said Sheila Jasanoff, a Harvard professor of science and technology studies, at a presentation about cloned meat at last weekend's American Association...

Instead of having to delete every single message, wall post, and photo to erase a Facebook profile, users can now remove their accounts with a single e-mail. But Harvard students are in no rush to do so. Facebook announced on Tuesday that users can e-mail the company to request removal of their account, though there is still no simple way for members to delete their profiles on their own.
