...also about the limits of law. What good is a partial ban on cloning if it cannot be enforced? Once embryos are produced for research and stockpiled in labs, lawmakers warned, it's hard to control how they are used. Even under Greenwood, which would subject private labs to some government oversight, there would be no knowing for certain whether scientists were violating the law against actually implanting a cloned embryo in a surrogate mother. And if someone found out? "No government agency is going to compel a woman to abort the clone," argued University of Chicago medical ethicist Leon...
...that fixes will be needed "down the road." If last week's skirmishing was any guide, that road may be a long one. Bush would like Congress to take up the issue next year, but nobody expects it to. Senator John Breaux, one of the few Democrats who favor partial privatization, told CNN, "It will not happen this year, and I guarantee you it's not going to happen in an election year...
...team eventually found 11 specimens--from at least five different individuals--in a cluster of sites, including Haile-Selassie's partial lower jaw with associated teeth, several hand and foot bones, and pieces of three arm bones and a collarbone. Luckily, the fossils were trapped in sediments that were sandwiched between layers of volcanic ash, whose age can be accurately gauged by a technique known as argon-argon dating. (This layering is still visible in places that have not been so heavily eroded, enabling the scientists to trace the area's geologic history.) The verdict, confirmed by a second dating...
...news from Norfolk we learned that a laboratory in Worcester, Mass. (the very same lab that three years ago produced a hybrid human-cow embryo) is trying to grow cloned human embryos to produce stem cells--but could be used to produce a full or (even more ghastly) partial human clone. What other monstrosities are going on that we don't know about...
...have seen a partial divergence on this case. That doesn't mean there was a right decision and a wrong decision. But take a merger that was larger than this one, AOL Time Warner [parent company of TIME]. There the European Commission authorized the merger well before the FTC did, and I would say with less heavy remedies...
