...even some pro-life lawmakers don't want fears about cloning to stop other kinds of stem-cell research that do not entail the manufacture of new embryos. Many have been relying on a kind of moral escape hatch: the fact that every year there are tens of thousands of frozen embryos left over from fertility treatments in clinics around the country. National Institutes of Health guidelines say it is O.K. to do research on cells from such embryos, most of which would be destroyed anyway; but it is wrong to create an embryo solely for the purpose of harvesting...

The blueprint that won the Weyerhaeuser contract is a gantry-crane "open hatch" design that many shipyards simply weren't equipped to produce. The ships will carry lumber and paper to the Far East and return filled with cars, snowmobiles and industrial equipment. The built-in retractable cranes will allow the ships to load and unload quickly, even at ports with inferior or damaged...
