...hides sexual crimes behind the privet hedge. The casting coup of Redgrave mčre et fille pays handsome dividends: Vanessa, ever luminous, her face a substructure of sinew and stress waiting to implode, and Joely, with much of her mother's beauty and most of her shy mannerisms in embryo. They bring body and soul to a tantalizing entertainment...
Brownback, who co-authored the Human Cloning Prohibition Act, has been an outspoken critic of embryonic stem cell research because it requires the use of a living human embryo...
While there are reasons that many oppose stem cell research, their considerations are not strong enough to warrant limiting the research. Some oppose embryonic stem cell research because of the belief that it kills a human being: the embryo from which the stem cells are derived. Others note that stem cell research will not produce any tangible results for at least a decade. Still others, especially in debt-ridden California, note the significant monetary expenditures associated with such research. California voters, however, have correctly responded to these concerns...
...whether [reproductive cloning] would work in humans—it would be grossly irresponsible to try, and we’re completely opposed to it.” Rather, institute researchers want to extract stem cell lines from the early stages of embryonic growth—not implant the embryo back into a woman to birth a child. We hope that the University’s ethic board will see the distinction between potentially lifesaving stem cell research on diseases such as Parkinson’s, diabetes or Alzheimers and the type of reproductive cloning that produced Dolly...
...Harvard is to continue to lead the way in stem cell research in the United States, it must allow its researchers to do the kind of work that continues apace in other countries. A South Korean lab has already extracted new stem cell lines from a cloned embryo. A lab in Britain plans to do the same soon. America could fall very far behind indeed if even the private organizations that can afford to conduct stem cell research fall short...
