37、dical Research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology said: “I find it astonishing that people do this where the result can be foretold that it will not be a normal baby.

43、D. First Cloned Human?EThe 1970s and early 1980s have spelled (意味着) hard time for most of the worlds business firms.
