...wife, a mom, an American. And that really was the impetus for Change of Heart for me. As an American I wanted to explore... why are we the only first world country that still has capital punishment? Is it because we're too afraid to really examine the sytem, or is it because we really truly belive that this is the best way to deter future crime...
...expected, the military court finds Watada guilty on all or some of the remaining charges, Seitz says he plans to push the case into civilian courts - after first exhausting his appeals, as required, through the military justice sytem.

Chief Bromden, the half...
...attention from the world press, since scientists have been able to "clone" animals from fetal cells for about two decades now. As Ian Wilmut of Scotland's Roslin Institute sheepishly admitted to a genetics forum at the University of Louisville, fetal cells might have been present in the circulatory sytem of Dolly's clone mother during the time he took his now-famous 277 genetic samples. "We and everybody else had completely overlooked it," he said, tacitly admitting that a couple of naysayers writing in Science magazine last month may have a point...
