...person in his mid-20s has a less than one-in-10,000 chance of developing DVT; by 75, the risk is closer to one in 1,000. Also at higher risk: people who have suffered or are suffering from cancer, women taking contraceptive pills and women who are pregnant or have recently given birth.

...Doctors suggest that if you have a proven predisposition to thrombosis, you should consider an injection of anticoagulant within 24 hours prior to flying. Though taking aspirin before takeoff may ward off clots for some people, pregnant women, among others, shouldn?t do it. Check with your doctor. Once inside the plane, make sure you have as much room to move your legs as possible?a good reason to store cabin baggage in the overhead compartment rather than under the seat in front of you where it can take up precious legroom.

Cloning people as a fertility treatment strikes me as wrongheaded. Certainly the information in your article strongly suggests that a woman who has trouble getting pregnant through in-vitro fertilization will have no better luck if the embryo used is a clone.
