...small - about two back-to-back egg cartons in depth and height. The design, a shiny black obelisk, evokes the "2001: A Space Odyssey" icon, especially when standing on end; two tiny lights, one green and one purple, spark up the front when the unit is in use. Unlike its ugly, gray, functional-looking predecessor, the PS2 will be an unembarrassing addition to most homes' décor, except maybe in Sturbridge Village...
...mother. Bush allows for exceptions in cases of rape or incest, but Ashcroft didn't. His proposal defined human life as beginning at fertilization, which women's groups say could have meant that not only abortion but also birth-control pills and IUDs, which prevent development of a fertilized egg, would be illegal. "Bush couldn't have chosen anyone more hostile, more dangerous," says Kate Michelman, head of the National Abortion and Reproductive Rights Action League, "more devoted to taking Roe v. Wade down...
...strongly support Hume’s greatness on the ground that the force of his personality definitely affected the age in which he lived. It is not a question of the cart before the horse in either case, merely a problem of which came first, the chicken or the egg. In any case, there is much to be said on both sides...
...cloning technique used with Bessie--the only cow in the experiment to carry an embryo into late pregnancy--is a variation of the procedure that created Dolly the sheep, the world's first cloned mammal. A needle is jabbed through an egg's protective layer and used to remove the egg's nucleus, containing most of a cell's genetic material. A second needle is used to inject a whole cell under the egg's outer layer. To complete the process, an electrical current fuses the new cell to the egg. The embryo starts to divide until, within days...
Using science to save vanishing species is becoming a global pursuit. Robert Mauget and colleagues at France's National Museum of Natural History, which includes four zoo parks, recently became the first to produce deer embryos in vitro. The technique--incorporating frozen semen and oocytes, or developing egg cells--is expected to be applied later this year to rare and endangered deer species, with more common types acting as surrogate mothers. The French are also talking with colleagues in Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan about how they may help rebuild populations of Bactrian (Bukharian) deer in Central Asia. "Basically, we're hoping...
