This, he alleges in mock excitement, would be "cloning's crowning achievement." I was the main scientist that Krauthammer cast in...
In the years since the discovery of DNA, science has been laboring relentlessly to make Krauthammer's fears an inevitable possibility. To sound a frantic alarm at this late date smacks of Chicken Little. Let's get on with it. Let's figure out how to do cloning rationally and...
