"There's a global race to clone humans with terrible risks
to the physical and emotional health of the children.
Dolly the sheep has died early - possibly from
cloning-related problems. Clonaid and other groups must be

The whole topic of genes and genetic engineering is fascinating!
Genetic engineering is changing medicine, agriculture and even
the legal system. If you would like to learn about genetic engineering
and biotechnology - for example, if you would like to know how a
scientist can "engineer" bacteria to produce something like human
insulin - then the HSW article entitled How Cells Work will be
incredibly interesting. After you read it, many of the genetic engineering
stories you see in the news will make a LOT more sense!
