...this season. However, the team has gotten off to a rough start and currently stands at 14-20-a whopping 11 games behind first place Seattle. As a result, if the team does not shape up, management may be forced to trade young players who could comprise a dynamic nucleus for years to come...
...Holtzman: Yes. The site in question, called the nucleus basalis, which needs the nerve growth factor for normal brain function, is in the middle of the brain - so potentially, if the treatment worked, one could perform gene therapy on both sides of a patient's brain...
...Given what researchers have learned since Dolly, no one thinks the mechanics of cloning are very hard: take a donor egg, suck out the nucleus, and hence the DNA, and fuse it with, say, a skin cell from the human being copied. Then, with the help of an electrical current, the reconstituted cell should begin growing into a genetic duplicate. "It's inevitable that someone will try and someone will succeed," predicts Delores Lamb, an infertility expert at Baylor University in Texas. The consensus among biotechnology specialists is that within a few years?some scientists believe a few months...

...Massachusetts scientists injected a human nucleus into a cow egg. The resulting embryo, destroyed early, appeared to be producing human protein, but we have no idea what kind of grotesque hybrid entity would come out of such a marriage. Last October, the first primate containing genes from another species--a monkey with a jellyfish gene--was born. Monkeys today. Tomorrow humans...
