...which was founded three years ago by entrepreneur Graeme Sloan to preserve DNA for future cloning. In an e-mail, Sloan told the parents that Olga's teeth would provide more than enough DNA--even though that possibility is remote. "All DNA samples are placed into computer-controlled liquid-nitrogen tanks for long-term storage," he wrote. "The cost of doing a DNA fingerprint and genetic profile and placing the sample into storage would be $2,500. Please note that all of our fees are in U.S. dollars...
...away the cancerous cells layer by layer and zapping surrounding tissue with an electric needle. This can be done in an office with local anesthesia. Recurrence of small tumors treated this way is about 5 percent. For larger tumors, more invasive surgery, lasers, directly applied chemotherapy agents, or liquid nitrogen are used to kill the cancer cells...
