...good news, as far as cloning's future is concerned, is that those problems seem to be limited to the clones and are not passed on to the next generation.

John Edwards may well end up a candidate for President in 2008, but for now, he's director of the new Center on Poverty, Work, and Opportunity at the University of North Carolina School of Law. Since the last election, John Kerry's running mate has spent much of his time speaking around the country about the 37 million Americans who live under the poverty line.
