...rents on a road called Morning Glory. She draws hard on a long More cigarette, one of many she'll suck down during this week from hell. The day before, she made her national television debut, explaining through streaming mascara that she has no idea how one of a parent's worst nightmares had come true for her. Somehow her daughter is not her daughter, at least biologically. Somehow the girl she gave birth to on June 29, 1995, apparently was swapped with a girl born a few hours later to a 16-year-old cheerleader named Whitney Rogers. Somehow...
...that bickering that led to the discovery of Callie's genetic identity: as is routine in child-support disputes, a local judge ordered paternity tests to determine whether Conley had in fact fathered Callie. But tests showed that neither he nor Johnson was the girl's genetic parent. It's unclear whether Conley fathered Rebecca. His sister Melissa says another man may be the father.

The difference in age between parent and child alone would prevent it, and because genetics only partly determines who we are, a clone could never be exactly the same person as its parent. The offspring of a brilliant musician or a scientific genius could, depending on his or her life experience, turn out to be a great criminal. But human cloning will happen anyway--perhaps much sooner than anyone thought. And when...
