...dilemma wouldn't matter much if producing identical animals were its only application, but cloning is also the foundation for one of the more promising ways that stem cells might be used to treat human disease with a patient's own cells. At this rate, even cloning's most ardent supporters agree that such a method won't be very reliable, or very realistic. If therapeutic cloning, as it is known, is to become a viable treatment option, then the first thing scientists need to do is boost the cloning technique's efficiency...

Even the most ardent secularist I know, a Westernized engineer, started quoting from Ahmadinejad's speeches, and ordered his staff to stop circulating jokes about the president on their mobile phones. But the hard-line approach has yet to produce any tangible concessions, which is damaging his credibility. Though the nuclear dispute remains...
...noteworthy and decisive way. He has made Massachusetts excited about state politics for the first time in a long time. Patrick entered this race as a virtual unknown facing opponents who enjoyed recognition throughout the state. Through relentless grassroots campaigning, he has been able to earn the ardent support of many—raising a record $550,000 in August. His leadership has been inspired and inspiring, which makes us believe that he is the best equipped of all the Democratic candidates to guide Massachusetts forward. We enthusiastically support Deval Patrick for the Democratic gubernatorial primary on Sept...
