WASHINGTON — There are hundreds of abnormal genes in cloned mice, which explains why so many cloned animals die at or before birth and proves that it would be irresponsible to clone a human being, ...

Genetic modification is the process of altering the genetic makeup of an organism. This has been done indirectly for thousands of years by controlled, or selective, breeding of plants and animals.

Pets just don't live long enough. We spend time, emotion, energy and lots of money caring for them, all while knowing we'll ...
