with Bill and Hillary, and it makes me wonder what they will do when that couple recedes into obscurity Clinton Cloning The Nemesis of the Right Wing -GG- IVF cowboys respond to that emotion. Cappy Rothman, a fertility doctor at UCLA, has made a specialty of removing sperm from dead men to help them father children. Severino Antinori, a prominent IVF doctor in Rome, has caused a 63-year-old woman to become pregnant, grown human sperm in rats, and once agreed to try and help an unnamed Catholic priest have a baby by taking his unejaculated sperm - thereby leaving the clergyman's celibacy intact - and fertilizing the egg of a surrogate. >>...so this is what immaculate conception really is...<< Jacques Cohen of New Jersey's St. Barnabas Medical Center - an IVF star who worked with Steptoe and Edwards and now works with Willadsen - has pioneered a process called cytoplasmic transfer. This technique closely resembles the micromanipulation steps used in cloning: Cohen transfers the cytoplasms (the cellular goo outside the nuclei) from one woman's healthy eggs into another woman's defective eggs. The theory is that the defective mitochondria - the engines in the cytoplasm that power a cell - might be replaced by mitochondria that are humming along, so a woman could still produce a baby who shares her genes. Each mitochondrion has its own DNA, so strictly speaking, a baby resulting from this procedure would have two genetic mothers. Although babies have been born following successful cytoplasmic transfers, nobody is quite sure whether the births occurred because of the procedure or just luck. "If you had a good cell biologist, you could do this with two people in a small closet." Cost? $50,000. talk about: the cat got out of the bag.... wired.com

When the Clintons fade into obscurity, something we are not likely to see for many years given their relative ages, there will be a new liberal outrage to chew over. Count on it. And FYI, the Clintons do provide many issues to chew over such as the role of character in politics (or maybe lack thereof), political narcissism, separation of powers, politics of personal destruction, politics by polls, etc., etc. The Clintons have always fascinated and disgusted me. Kinda like the rubbernecking at a bloody auto wreck. Its so horrible to behold you just can't take your eyes off it and you are bound to tell all your friends about it. JLA
