The time was ripe for a naïve and yet monstruously successful hybrid, and Bob Rafelson knew...
...This second cell, they say, comes from a 10-month-old boy who died during surgery. The two cells will be hit with an electrical charge, according to the scenario, and will fuse, forming a new hybrid cell that no longer has the genes of the young woman but now has the genes of the dead child. Once the single cell has developed into six to eight cells, the next step is to follow the existing, standard technology of assisted reproduction: gingerly insert the embryo into a woman's womb and hope it implants. Clonaid scientists expect to have implanted...

That is what ought to be giving us pause: not where we took these magnificent cells from but where they are taking...
