- ... more controlled situation. Better yet, how about a 'Minor uprising' ? Now that would be perfect!..."No need to fear ladies and gentlemen, just a 'minor uprising' by the workers which will soon be controlled...there's nothing to worry about!

- ... cells has been accomplished, we are forced to consider what stand must be taken on the issue of cloning human beings, and also examine the effect of popular culture on our perceptions of cloning. Dolly s case is not the first example of cloning. A man named Hans Spemann first envisioned cloning in 1938. He suggested transferring the nucleus of an embryo into another egg. As early as 1952, two scientists, Robert Briggs and T.J. King attempted what Spemann had suggested with a frog embryo and egg. Unfortunately, the frog egg did not develop.
