...their king, but Israelis and Palestinians love him anyway. Jordan's King Hussein was welcomed home to the Middle East Tuesday like a parent returned to calm a fractious household. He has spent the past six months in the U.S. being treated for cancer, and signaled his renewed vigor by piloting his own plane home. "No one can match King Hussein's respect among both Israelis and Palestinians, and his role in the peace process was badly missed," says TIME West Bank correspondent Jamil Hamad.

In recent years, particularly in the U.S., much importance has been placed on the right of individuals to reproduce in ways that they wish. I suggest that there is a greater need to consider the interests of the child and to reject these proposed uses of cloning...
...reset by normal reproduction during the production of sperm and eggs; that is why children of each new generation have a full life span. It is not yet known whether aging is reversed during cloning or if the clone's natural life is shortened by the years its parent has already lived. Then there is the problem of the genetic errors that accumulate in our cells. There are systems to seek out and correct such errors during normal reproduction; it is not known if that can occur during cloning. Research with animals is urgently required to measure the life span...
...coin. True cloning, as first shown with Dolly the sheep two years ago, involves taking a developed cell and reactivating the genome within, resetting its developmental instructions to a pristine state. Once that happens, the rejuvenated cell can develop into a full-fledged animal, genetically identical to its parent...
