Send in the clones
Article Abstract:
It will not be long before genetic manipulation makes it possible for parents to decide whether certain conditions should be passed on to their children, according to molecular biologist Lee Silver. This development is bound to happen, whether people see it as morally correct or not. The extent to which genetic manipulation is put into practice will be determined by the marketplace, rather than by ethicists or politicians. He believes that there will be human clones, probably in the not very distant future.

This man is on his way to court to face a murder charge. So why's he smiling? Because whatever happens, Dr David Moor can rely on a fan club led by a page three model (not to mention the transsexual and the six-piece jazz band)
Article Abstract:
Dr David Moor, a GP in Newcastle, England, has been charged with the murder of a patient in Jul 1997. He has been freed on bail, with a plea hearing due to take place on Oct 19, 1998. He has become the focus of a large support group, with many of his patients reporting that he has treated them extremely well, always being very kind and understanding. His supporters are concerned primarily with defending his name, rather than with whether he has been involved in euthanasia or not.
