If you love milk shakes, your future may be just a little brighter, thanks to baby Gene. In another science first, Wisconsin scientists have created a clone--or exact genetic copy--of a cow! Gene, the cloned calf, was born on February 6, 1997. His birth marks the first time scientists have reproduced--and perhaps improved on--the technique used to clone Dolly, the world's first exact copy of an adult sheep, in Scotland last year (see SW 5/2/97, p. 8).

Scientists may be looking sheepish
Chicago Sun-Times ; PHILADELPHIA One of the scientists who cloned Dolly acknowledged Friday that a "serious" concern exists over whether the famous sheep is genuine, or one of the biggest scientific goofs in history.

Dolly's creator aims to silence critics who question cloning success
Transplant News ; The Scottish scientist who cloned Dolly the sheep now concedes he may have made a mistake. There is a remote possibility that the cell (that produced Dolly) came from a fetus, rather than from the adult, Ian Wilmut of the Roslin Institute said last week at a genetics forum at the University of
Parkinson's Patient Improves After Implant of Fetal Cells
The Washington Post ; The first American to receive a fetal cell brain implant for Parkinson's disease appears to be substantially improved 15 months later, according to a report to be published today in the Archives of Neurology.
