It took the sensory organs about five days to emerge from a carefully cultivated soup of the frogs' own embryonic stem cells during the groundbreaking experiment, which may provide data that will someday allow scientists to grow sensory organs for humans.

Booting students out of school and jailing them for a couple days doesn't solve anything in the long run. What about therapy and counseling for those who are teased and abused? Maybe someday we'll find a happy medium between abandonment and letting kids have free rein to do as they please. AVIVA WEST Windsor...
