People in the research community will be the first to tell you they still don't know enough about how the complex living organism works in order to duplicate it. Animals...
...weddings will stop abruptly this fall if California voters approve a November ballot initiative banning gay marriage. "There are a lot of mixed emotions about this," Newsom said. "It's exhilarating on the one hand. But it's by no means certain that California won't take back what it has given...
