6、wers on ANSWER SHEET 1. Te*t 1“Ive never met a human worth cloning,” says cloning e*pert Mark Westhusin from the cramped confines of his lab at Te*as A&M University. “Its a stupid endeavor.” Thats an interesting choice of adjective, coming from a man who has spent millions of dollars trying to clone a 13-year-old dog named Missy.

In a statement of purpose, Missys owners and the A&M team say they are “both looking forward to studying the ways that her clone differs from Missy.”The fate of the dog samples will depend on Westhusins work. He knows that even if he gets a dog viably pregnant, the offspring, should they survive, will face the problems shown at birth by other cloned animals
