Cows genetically engineered to produce valuable human proteins, for example, or pigs whose organs have been altered to remove proteins that trigger rejection after transplant operations, could be stamped out on an assembly line. Fast racehorses or blue-ribbon pets might be duplicated at will. In humans, both cancer and the aging process involve genetic changes at the cellular level. Thus a better understanding of how genes work might someday have implications for anti-cancer and anti-aging treatments...

With 400,000 premature babies born in the U.S. every year, the potential cost savings are apparent. And eight months after birth, Field says, massaged preemies have superior motor skills...
