...wrong he was. When the story broke last week -- on the front page of the New York Times under the headline Scientist Clones Human Embryos, And Creates an Ethical Challenge -- everybody focused on the one thing the scientists seemed willing to overlook: the cells Hall had manipulated came not from plants or pigs or rabbits or cows, but from human beings...

What we know about Lichtenstein's own Image Duplicator is that by now it works too well...
