...Innovators series forges ahead this week with a chapter on crime fighters, who range from a police-sketch artist to a scientist who finds clues in the bellies of bugs. The section boasts a crisp new look created by our sister act of Marti and MaryAnne Golon. Marti, our art director for special projects, finds inspiration in the animated typography of movie-title sequences and websites. "Using different fonts, with varying weights and colors, I can make your eye bounce around the printed page." Picture editor MaryAnne aims to match the style of the photography to the spirit...
Those who advocate human cloning seem to ignore the inherent wastefulness and disregard of human dignity that the process involves. I fail to comprehend the scientist who explains his work as a duty to help people who want to complete their life cycle by reproducing. Rather, the driving force behind scientists' efforts to clone is the commercial opportunity that feeds on the hopes of the pro-cloning people.

Sidesplitting vignettes about monkey politics alternate with equally hilarious tales of misadventure on the backroads of East and Central Africa. Sciencephobes needn't be worried: there's nary a page of neuroendocrinology in the book. A supporting cast of tribal misfits, postcolonial weirdos and marginally psychotic truck drivers will keep you chuckling from start to finish...
...every scientist subscribes to this ominous philosophy. Greg Pence, professor of bioethics at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, predicts that people will get more comfortable with the idea of cloning as time passes. "Science fiction movies have taught us that this technology must create mutants, but in fact, any problems we're facing are merely technical," Pence told TIME.com. "And fear of technical problems is just masking other problems people have with the idea of cloning...
