Not, that is, until South Korean researcher Woo Suk Hwang and his team at Seoul National University brought Snuppy the puppy into the world--an animal whose entire genome came from a single cell from the ear of a three-year-old Afghan hound.

...getting rough and out of hand. Nobody seems to use poison anymore. In Fort Lauderdale two years ago, a 79-year-old man shot his 62-year-old wife in the stairwell of a hospital; like Emily Gilbert, she was suffering from Alzheimer's disease.
