...Hwang's claims create such excitement? In a 2004 paper, Hwang reported that his team was the first to clone human embryos and extract lines of embryonic stem cells (ESCs) from them, harvesting a single line of ESCs from experiments involving 248 human eggs. ESCs can potentially grow into any type of body tissue, and lines created through cloning might one day help treat conditions like Alzheimer's or diabetes without the risk of immune rejection. In 2005, Hwang claimed to improve his process, using an average of 17 eggs to create an ESC line...
...because he pledged to legalize far more cultivation of coca, which Aymara Indians like him have chewed for centuries for traditional medicinal purposes and which the U.S. has tried for decades to eradicate in Bolivia because drug traffickers use it to make cocaine. Morales impishly claims that coca-leaf extract is part of the formula of the classic American beverage Coca-Cola (a legend the company has consistently declined to comment on) and adds, "It's not right that exporting coca is legal for Coca-Cola but not for the rest...
...says Clayton. "They want to know how to live their unhealthy lives better." So the good doc instructs the reader on how to minimize the risks: Quitting smoking by the time you're 30 mitigates almost all of the damage from smoking; taking a dose of 1600 IUs of extract of prickly pear cactus before drinking will reduce your hangover; it's healthy to drop 10 lbs. in a few weeks for a wedding or beach vacation without changing your lifestyle, if you don't mind regaining most of the weight.

...legalizing its cultivation Morales would risk losing the more than $200 million in essential aid Bolivia receives from Washington. Similarly, while it may be politically popular to call for nationalization of natural gas reserves, that would likely alienate the U.S. and other multinational firms that Bolivia needs to extract...
...team is thawing five frozen stem cell lines and conducting DNA analysis to verify that he was indeed successful in using cloning techniques to extract stem cells from patients with diseases; those results will be available in 10 days. After that, Hwang will have either answered his critics or he'll have even more questions to face...
