...breakthrough, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, comes just a week after scientists stunned the world by cloning an adult mammal and further demonstrates science fiction's uncanny knack for becoming reality. In the experiment, a chicken was made to act like a quail by transferring certain brain cells from a quail embryo to the brain of a chicken embryo. Once hatched, the chicken's movement's resembled those of a quail. "It turns out there's a part of the quail's brain that I can transfer into a chicken that makes the chicken move...
...confident that results are not subject to genetic foibles. They could also reduce the number of animals that would be needed in a given experiment, making research cheaper and requiring fewer monkeys. "The downside," Wolf said, "is that this is one step in the direction of suggesting that nuclear transfer can be done in human beings," He insisted that the center has no interest in cloning a person. The twins, born in August to surrogate mothers through in vitro fertilization, can expect to live normal monkey lives of 15 to 20 years, researchers said. But huddled in the corner...
...serious disappointment of the show was its length: the four skits add up to barely an hour's worth of entertainment. The original All in the Timing consisted of six one-act comedies.
