Although the development once again raises the specter of creating humans in a petri dish or custom-designing egg and sperm cells for reproduction, lead author Karim Nayernia says that was not his team's intention. Rather, the experiment was a proof of concept that stem cells can generate any cell in the body - not only the dozens of tissues that make up the human body but also those egg and sperm cells that may give rise to altogether new bodies. "Other cell types don't generate the next generation," says Nayernia, a professor of stem-cell biology at Newcastle...

You can shock and awe human beings, but it doesn't last. I've seen operations where kinetic strikes would go in on a target, and the enemy would come out shooting. They weren't awed...
...Casey can sense when a story isn't going to work for him. He talks about himself in the third person - he'll say, 'That's not a story Casey would tell.' He has a very strong concept of who this character is that he's spent so many years creating." - Merrill Shindler, a writer for American Top 40 and Casey's Top 40, on Kasem's radio persona.
