Oh no, sorry, I was reading this site:
http://www.ornl.gov/sci/techresources/Human_Genome/elsi/cloning.shtml
It is sponsored by the Department of Energy. I just don’t understand why.
It does seem odd. The Department of Energy probably saw a chance to declare the genome ‘science and technology’ so that they could seize it for their own, before HHS knew what was happening. There’s no war more bitter than a turf war between bureaucrats.
