In an untitled 1993 composition of brilliant red, black and creamy white rectangles, Ellis leaves his mark behind on the canvas where forms—Eyes? A torso?—seem...

Of course, the most virulent opponents of cloning will not soon want to ban tooth-brushing. But they insist that the potential for life must be protected and oppose cloning human embryos for research purposes, even if the DNA comes...
