...Zangger [Berlin,] 16 February 1917 Dear friend Zangger, Your letter about the condition of my youngest scares me less than you might think. Well-deserved punishment for my having taken the most important step in life so rashly. I begot children with a physically and morally inferior person and cannot complain if they turn out accordingly. Only they will accuse me one day when they are old enough; they will be only too right, unfortunately. So send my poor boy wherever you and Bernstein see fit, if you really think something of it.

When, for example...
...geneticist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, estimates that 4% to 5% of the genes in a cloned animal's genome are expressed incorrectly--probably because of faulty methylation. "If you reprogram, it affects the whole genome," he says. "From what we know, I would argue that cloned animals cannot be normal. They can be closer to normal, but not normal...
...fact that clones have defects--however minor--only bolsters the arguments that scientists have made against human cloning. Based on his studies of the faults introduced by reprogramming, Jaenisch, for one, thinks human cloning is now out of the question. "I think we cannot make human reproductive cloning safe," he says. "And it's not a technological issue. It's a biological barrier. The pattern of methylation of a normal embryo cannot be re-created consistently in cloning...
Members of the Senate Judiciary Committee have been debating whether the brain drain at the FBI poses a threat to national security. "The FBI cannot be a revolving door for senior managers," says Senator Chuck Grassley. "It needs stability in these important positions to fight in the war on terror...
