Steger is a legendary polar explorer, the first person to make a dogsled trip to the North Pole, and winner of the National Geographic Adventure Lifetime Achievement Award. He's at home in those frozen, hostile parts of the world that few of us will ever tread. But he's also a dedicated environmentalist who was early to ring the alarm bell on global warming, the effects of which he saw firsthand in his frequent polar expeditions, both in the Arctic and Antarctica. To help raise awareness of the damage climate change is wreaking on the polar regions, next month...
...business that largely polices itself. Liberals worry about egg selling and womb rental, about poor women being exploited to help rich women have children--but they don't want to push too hard, because reproductive freedom is a hallowed right. Conservatives struggle to explain why they oppose using leftover frozen embryos for stem-cell research but don't oppose their creation in the first place...
...what of the half a million leftover embryos, which now nestle in nitrogen? "What you do with the frozen embryos you don't use is your decision and yours alone," says the American Fertility Association. But it is not so simple. Are they people--or property?

...chief scientific advisor, comes in. Cunningham's 12-year-old company, IdentiGEN, specializes in DNA tracing of meat products - a process that can save valuable time during industry recalls, like the massive one on Sunday by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) involving 143 million lbs. of raw and frozen beef. Currently, IdentiGEN is operating in Europe, where the mad cow crisis in the mid-'90s led to the establishment of a comprehensive system of traceability. All pork and beef products sold at the U.K.-based, worldwide megamarket TESCO, for example, have been logged by IdentiGEN and stamped with...
