Building on that success, CityStep Executive Director Laura E. Weidman ’04 sent in an application this year to the Pforzheimer Fellowship program proposing to start a CityStep clone at the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn). The proposal went through. After she graduates, Weidman will move to Philadelphia and begin laying the groundwork for UPenn’s CityStep...

...contrary, after having taken a course in stem cell biology and cloning from Melton, a member of the National Academy of Sciences, earlier this year (Molecular and Cellular Biology 125, “Stem Cells and Cloning”), I can attest to his careful and thoughtful contemplation of the matter. In fact, the course’s abstract in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences Courses of Instruction specifically states that “ethical and political considerations will not be ignored.” Indeed, in lieu of lecture one day, there was an hour...
With scientists in South Korea successfully extracting stem cells from a cloned human embryo last month, Harvard has vowed not to fall behind. Just last week, Provost Steven E. Hyman confirmed pre-existing plans to spend several million dollars creating a new center for stem cell research. Upon hearing about the Korean advance in February, the center’s co-director David T. Scadden had remarked, “It’s a terrible disappointment that we’re reading about it from other countries. It’s imperative that we be able to use this...
...rejecting a watered-down bill that would have banned reproductive cloning only, conservatives have ensured that the U.S is, bizarrely, one of few developed countries that doesn't forbid human cloning. Responsible scientists wouldn't try it, but an unethical researcher could read the Science paper and attempt to use the technique to bring a clone to term. "I'm afraid that some nitwit is going to try," says Larry Goldstein, a cellular and molecular biologist at the University of California at San Diego. But given the high rate of spontaneous abortions and genetic defects seen in other species...
