...stole about $50, a pager and some keys, and buried the body in a nearby field. With no witnesses to the crime, the prosecution's case relied on the confessions and two pieces of evidence: a knife found in one defendant's home that had blood of the same type as the driver and a cigarette butt found in the taxi with another's DNA. But the knife and the cigarette butt were never produced in court, says Xu. And as for the confessions, "We have witnesses who saw them being tortured. And because [the confessions] were made up, they...
...thing to remember about these embryos is that they are not genetic matches to either parent - they are embryos, which means they are as genetically different from mom and dad as children are. So if a parent needs a precisely genetically matched tissue type, these stem cells may not be of much use. Krtolica points out, however, that many organs, including livers and kidneys, are routinely donated today by relatives, and that such organ donations could be made easier by utilizing banked stem cells...

Despite the sanctions announced Tuesday by President Bush, the coming months will see more horrifying news of massacres from Darfur, more wrenching refugee tales, more urgent calls...
...about classes such as Biophysics 360, “Enzymatic Mechanisms and Antibiotic Biosynthesis.” While that class seemed cool (sounded like you’d be spending the semester experimenting with DNA of super-humans or radioactive mutants or something) it did not seem like the type of class that would yield an “easy A.” The CUE Guide was also a little disconcerting to me. If the rumors I’d been hearing about Harvard’s grade inflation were true, then why was there...
