...baby bull, brought into the world with the help of scientists from ABS Global Inc., was cloned from stem cells taken from a 30-day-old calf embryo. They say this is improves on traditional embryo-cloning techniques, because stem cells can form dozens of identical animals ? and hopefully produce large numbers of prime cattle for human consumption...

...bull breeders are being more than a little optimistic. TIME's Christine Gorman reports that cloning is still a crap shoot: "The disadvantage of embryo breeding is that you have no idea if it will produce prize material," she says. "You could spend a whole lot of time and energy making clones from an embryo and ending up with dozens of mediocre animals." And that's no bull...
...research question proved so divisive, however, that the commission ultimately decided to duck it.

Indeed, pro-life groups had begun attacking the commission's conclusions even before they were released. When word leaked out earlier in the week that it might allow human- cloning research as long as no cloned embryos were implanted in a womb, the panel was immediately attacked by John Cavanaugh-O'Keefe of the American Life League. The commission was permitting, he said, "two separate grave evils": the creation of a cloned human embryo and its destruction in the lab. As he put it, "This means it is O.K. to clone as long as you kill...
