...forming a new hybrid cell that no longer has the genes of the young woman but now has the genes of the dead child. Once the single cell has developed into six to eight cells, the next step is to follow the existing, standard technology of assisted reproduction: gingerly insert the embryo into a woman's womb and hope it implants. Clonaid scientists expect to have implanted the first cloned human embryo in a surrogate mother by next month...
...musical roots. When he cited one of his American heroes, Bob Seger, I mentioned a relatively obscure early '70s Seger album that I recalled - "Smokin' O.P.'s" - and suddenly he launched into loud renditions of songs from the album. It was a wonderful moment. Like a celebrity human jukebox. Insert a quirky musical reference and out pours a song...

Watch nominations announced on live local news station at 5:30 a.m. Hear Best Supporting Actress nominees announced. Julie Walters, Kate Hudson, Judi Dench (wouldn't be the Oscars if she wasn't nominated for something), Frances McDormand (wouldn't be the Oscars if...well, same as Judi), Marcia Gay Harden. Wonder why Catherine Zeta-Jones was ignored; she was terrific in "Traffic," showed lack of vanity appearing pregnant...
...scientists in Oregon have taken a tiny step toward doing what many scientists have said no scientist would ever want to do--use genetics to change, improve or enhance our children. Sticking genes into eggs and growing a healthy monkey means that someday scientists could and most likely would insert genes into human eggs to try to make kids smarter, stronger, faster, healthier or happier than their parents...
