“Cancer is not something confined to human beings. It's found in all multi cellular organisms where the adult cells proliferate, so it's widespread in the biosphere. It's a phenomenon that is deeply related to the history of life itself, so by studying cancer I think we can illuminate the history of life itself and vice versa.” ThinkingHumansFoundHuman BeingsStudyAdultsCancerVicesCellsRelatedPhenomenonOrganismsConfinedVice VersaBiosphereCellularHistory Of Life Author:Paul Davies
“What popped up more than that was the realization that I made as an adult that the world is this incredibly complex, layered, and mysterious place and if you stop and think about it the human cell is literally more complex than a fleet of 747s.” IfsThinkingWorldHumansMadeAdultsComplexesMysteriousRealizationCells Author:Dean Koontz
“The cloning procedure is similar to IVF. The only difference is that the DNA of sperm and egg would be replaced by DNA from an adult cell.

“it's weird how much people change. for example, when i was a kid i loved all of these things..and over time all of them just fell away, one after another, replaced by friends and IMing and cell phones and boys and clothes. it's kind of sad, if you think about it. like there's no continuity in people at all. like something ruptures when you hit twelve, or thirteen, or whatever the age is when you're no longer a kid but a "young adult," and after that you're a totally different person. maybe even a less happy person. maybe even a worse one.” PeopleIfsThinkingKindPersonsDifferentKidsAgeYoungBoysExampleClothesAdultsYoung AdultPhonesCellsTwelveReplacedContinuityCell PhoneLike SomethingThirteenHappy PersonRupture Author:Lauren Oliver
“What politicians do not understand is that [Ian] Wilmut discovered not so much a technical trick as a new law of nature. We now know that an adult mammalian cell can fire up all the dormant genetic instructions that shut down as it divides and specializes and ages, and thus can become a source of new life. You can outlaw technique; you cannot repeal biology. Writing after Wilmut's successful cloning of the sheep, Dolly, that research on the cloning of human beings cannot be suppressed.” KnowsLifeWritingHumansAgeLawScienceHuman BeingsSuccessfulFireSourcePoliticianResearchAdultsTechniqueTricksCellsBiologyDividesInstructionSheepNew LifeLaws Of NatureGeneticsOutlawDormantCloning Author:Charles Krauthammer
