Cloning debate grows as stem cell work advances
U S lawmakers push bans on human cloning while Senate ponders similar action. NBC's Meet the Press features Sen Richard Shelby arguing against embryo cloning. Advanced Cell Technology reports partial embryo cloning with cumulus cell nuclei and chemical reprogramming to blastocyst stages. Researchers aim for patient specific stem cells, not reproduction. Other groups pursue therapeutic cloning for spinal cord, heart disease, cancer and more. Brigitte Boisselier of Croz Labs touts ongoing embryo work, though details and lab location remain secret. Scientists warn current science is preliminary and insufficient for human cloning. Public support for stem cell research appears broad, with some predicting eventual approval for therapeutic cloning.

National Zoo welcomes 325 pound baby elephant calf
The National Zoo reports the birth of a 325 pound female elephant calf to Shanthi, the youngest of Asia elephants, conceived by artificial insemination. Director Dr Lucy Spelman calls it a rare achievement as elephants in captivity remain challenging to breed. The calf took first steps after birth, with no name yet chosen.
