...world nearly missed it. The landmark experiment was reported by Jerry Hall at a meeting of the American Fertility Society in Montreal three weeks ago. Afterward, colleagues came up to congratulate him and say "Nice job." Others voted to give his paper, written with his supervisor, Dr. Robert Stillman, the conference's first prize. But nobody seemed to want to pursue the one fact that made his little experiment -- in which he started with 17 microscopic embryos and multiplied them like the Bible's loaves and fishes into 48 -- different from anything that had preceded it. Hall flew back...
...does the Hall-Stillman experiment involve genetic engineering -- the cutting and splicing procedures by which DNA strands within the nuclei of cells are mixed and matched. In one kind of genetic engineering, scientists have inserted human genes into the DNA of bacteria in order to mass-produce insulin and other human proteins. They have also experimented with therapies that involve replacing genes in human patients who either lack those genes or whose genes are defective. The George Washington research required none of that. The cells were just copied with their genes intact -- a far simpler process. Simple enough, in fact...
...told me to look him up if any of my friends ever had problems. He specializes in severe mental disorders. For years Nick has been wondering if he has a brain tumor, so it should be easy to get him in. A couple of weeks in Stillman should calm Nick down enough to get him off my back. I love Nick, but I need my sleep...
Sommers, standing at the front of the room, answered the questions curtly and looked shocked. Richard C. Marius, the director of the program, sat nearby and stewed. He looked sick, and he would later spend time in Stillman Infirmary for a "stomach problem," believed to be an ulcer...
