It is with pleasure and privilege
that I introduce the keynote
speaker for this weekend's conference, Dr. Ralph Miller. Dr.
Miller is already well known among
the scientific community.
However, it is his paper on
genetic cloning that has made him a household name. He has just
recently published his latest findings on
the cloning of two sheep
known to us as 'Bonnie and Clyde.' It is the vision of Dr. Miller and
his team of researchers to make
a cloned major organ
available to every single individual. If his cloning experiment does
actually succeed, it is expected to
increase people's life
expectancy to well over 100 years. |
