Scientists don't pretend to know when that will happen, but some science observers fear it will be soon. The first infant clone could come squalling into the world within seven years according to Arthur Caplan, director of the Center for Bioethics at the University of Pennsylvania. If he's right, science had better get its ethical house in order quickly. In calendar terms, seven years from now is a good way off; in scientific terms, it's tomorrow afternoon...

...later stage of development. Our growth and maturation, both inside and outside the womb, is the continuation of the same being, not a transformation into a different species.

At conception, a full human genome comes into being for the first time, and the the zygote has all the information it will ever need. No new genetic data...
...American refusal to be tried in the court of the World Trade Organization (WTO), calling the United States' position "arrogant." In defense, the United States has threatened to invoke "national security" as a justification for its ban on Cuba. This poses a problem for the potential effectiveness of the infant WTO in ensuring free trade practices. (Japan has also invoked "national security" in defense of its inflated rice tariffs.) It would have been much more savvy to avoid resorting to the crutch of national security, but given our contradictory attitude toward the Chinese, we are prevented from stating the case...
...failed to note the critical role breast feeding plays in optimizing a baby's brain power. Mother's milk contains important building blocks not found in any domestic infant formula. Babies breast fed just one month have an 8-point IQ advantage as kindergartners, and that figure rises with extended breast feeding.
