Working first with an adult male cat, they harvested cells from the animal's mouth and fused them with cat-donor eggs that had been emptied of genetic material. This created 82 embryos, which were implanted into seven surrogate mothers. The process yielded only a single fetal clone, and that one died in utero. Researchers then turned to cumulus cells from the ovaries of a female named Rainbow, creating five cloned embryos. These were implanted in Allie, another surrogate, and this time an embryo took hold and grew. The result was cc, born Dec. 22 and announced with a flourish...

...many years. “It was just supposed to be a temporary van guy. Nothing as intensive as this,” he says. But he grew into the role and now feels responsible for his students. “I view myself as the adult, so to speak. I always have this image of myself on the witness stand—the attorney saying to me, ‘Did you know the brakes were...
