Arborist Looks to Clone Redwood Trees

When David Milarch first visited Northern California in 1968, he thought he would see avenues of coast redwoods 100 miles long. What he found instead was a "moonscape," he said. Nearly 40 years later, the Michigan arborist has returned to the region to realize his dream of preserving and restoring the most ancient of these trees using the latest advances in genetic cloning.

Would you go to a wedding alone if your partner could not come?

Q. Let's say a friend of yours invites you to his/her wedding but your partner (boyfriend/ girlfriend, wife, husband) is unable to attend it, so you have to choose. Would you go alone to this wedding or would you politely decline the invite and say that you can't go?

As the biotech companies take greater liberties with human health and consumer choice, the mainstream parroted the USDA's claim that it doesn't matter if we "might" have cloned food in the stores, it's almost identical.

Food and milk from the offspring of cloned animals may have entered the U.S. food supply, the U.S. government said on Tuesday, but it would be impossible to know because there is no difference between cloned and conventional products.

Has there ever been a greater anticlimax in science than the announcement on January 17 that, at last, a cloned human embryo had been created? Even a few months ago the news would have flooded the world's media; now it hardly rates a mention.

After years of debate, the Food and Drug Administration on Tuesday declared that food from cloned animals and their progeny is safe, removing the last government hurdle before meat and milk derived from copies of prize dairy cows and superior hogs can be sold at grocery stores.

The US could approve cloned animals for use as food in two to three years, according to experts. But cloned meat is unlikely to appear on supermarket shelves in Britain or elsewhere in Europe anytime soon.

Does your doppelganger seem slightly older than you? More world-weary? More wise? Do its clothes seem ultra-hip? Have you been tinkering with plans for some sort of time travel machine in your basement? If so, your doppelganger is most likely you.

Despite news of failures within FDA to regulate dangerous drugs, they are going forward with a flawed review to approve cloned food, a product that has no benefit to consumers and questions of safety. It seems this Administration can't do enough to serve industry.

Many people assume that DNA pecisely predetermines our body shapes, personalities and diseases. The field of epigenetics, however, is disproving this. "We appear to have a measure of control over our genetic legacy."
