...unsavory lot of candidates is quite frustrating. All of them love old people and would never think of privatizing social security. All of them agree with the president on war with Iraq. It’s a small wonder why voters are apathetic when each candidate seems like a clone of the other. Indeed, the only visible difference is that one is a Republican and one is a Democrat...
...also a member of the influential President’s Council on Bioethics—makes the case for regulating the manipulation of human genes and the widespread prescription of psychotropic drugs such as Ritalin and Prozac. His principle arguments against practices such as human reproductive cloning don’t rely on pointing out the serious risk of disease in the clone. Rather, he opposes genetic engineering on the grounds that it might change “human nature” so drastically that it could “have possibly malign consequences for liberal democracy and the nature...
...tree frog species were discovered during a survey of Sri Lanka's rain forests 4,000 is the number of significant threats U.S. embassies receive each year, say State Department officials 4,767 years is the age of a bristlecone pine in California, according to scientists attempting to clone what they say is the oldest living tree 35 truckloads of weapons and ammo were seized from a single cache in Afghanistan by U.S. forces last week...
Scientists at Advanced Cell Technology in Worcester, Mass., took a skin cell from Cow A, cloned it (by injecting the nucleus into a cow egg whose nucleus had been removed), then implanted the embryo in the uterus of Cow B. That embryo clone grew into a fetus, which, had it been born, would have been Cow C. But it was not born. The fetus was removed from the uterus and harvested for its tissues. These tissues from the clone were then put back into the original Cow A. Lo and behold, it worked. These cells from the clone were...
...amazing success. This is precisely what the advocates of research cloning are promising. Clone, grow it and then use the cloned tissue to create near identical replacement parts for the original animal and thus presumably put us on the road to curing such human scourges as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's, spinal-cord injuries and the like...
