...scientists is a “technical masterpiece,” it still does not address the moral question surrounding embryonic stem cell research.“Hurlbut’s proposal is that by knocking down genes in the adult cell which you’re going to clone, you will create something that never has the character of the embryo,” Eggan said. “The problem is, the cells that were created still have all the characteristics of an embryo. It is true, that they are sick blastocysts—ones that will...
...Remains of the Clone! It's absolutely just his sensibility, with that one little twist that you have to call it science fiction or fantasy to an extent. Nobody would not consider it a serious classical novel...

...help pet owners. Cloning Snuppy (the name comes from "Seoul National University puppy") took nearly three years and cost millions of dollars. Hwang's ultimate motive, he says, is to create a research model for making stem cells that could cure disease in people. "Compared with rodents," he says, dog cells "are more similar to human stem cells." GS&C still wants to capture the Fido-cloning market, though, and company scientists are trying to reduce the inefficiencies. Even if they manage to clone a dog, says Ben Carlson, a company spokesman, it won't be cheap. "We're charging...
...what comes next, GS&C has stored the DNA of several rare or endangered animals in its cryogenic freezers, including two types of antelope. But, as the world was reminded last week, the biggest breakthroughs in cloning are now coming from Asia--not just South Korea but also China and Singapore. Hwang won't say what he's planning, but the next logical step would be to clone a primate. Human cloning may still be anathema, but the world seems to be inching ever closer. --Reported by Cathy Booth Thomas/Dallas and Alice Park/New York
