From documentaries on “bullet time”—the effects used to suspend the characters in mid air—to hidden features and an immaculate video transfer, this disc set a benchmark for DVDs that few have surpassed...

...embryos at Advanced Cell Technologies were created through a technique known as “somatic cell nuclear transfer,” in which the genetic material of a developed cell (such as a stem cell) is inserted into an egg. The same technique was used by researchers in Scotland to conceive Dolly the sheep in 1997. Though the experiment was far from a success—none of the embryos grew to larger than six cells before dying—it set a precedent for future research that could eventually result in the birth of a child conceived through...
Before it passed a blanket ban on somatic cell nuclear transfer this July, the House also considered a bill which would have placed a temporary ban on reproductive cloning and would have established some government oversight of this largely unregulated field. The latter approach offers far more promise to prevent dangerous experimentation while allowing vital research to continue.
