In fact, important patents already exist on some forms of human/animal genetic combinations. According to CNN, mice, rabbits, sheep and cows have all been the recipients of human genes, which have been used for important medical products including alpha anti-trypsion (to treat cystic fibrosis) and lactoferrin (which can bolster...
When substances this potent hit the sensory systems of a relatively unsophisticated animal, they pack a big behavioral wallop. Pheromones emitted by queen bees prevent other females from maturing sexually, ensuring that the queen's genes remain dominant.

Scientists might achieve the result they intend once in 20 times, making the procedure far too risky to perform on a human embryo. Through cloning, however, scientists could make...
