e,and s9,we are providing a roadmap.I would hope that the legislation that’s in place and the hreat public disapproval that would result from any attempt to clone a human would dissuade anyone from going down that path.

我們必須誠實的說明我們所使用的技術。這些技術必須能夠被他人復制，這樣，我們等于提供了一張線路圖。我希望適當的法規及公眾對于試圖克隆人的極力反對能夠勸阻任何有此企圖的人走那條路。

What is it they say?There is no technology that hasn’t been used for some evil purpose at some will attempt human reproctive cloning.I do think it’s inevitable,and it’s virtually impossible to legislate that away.

他們是怎么說的？他們說沒有一向技術不曾在某個時候為了某種罪惡目的而被利用過。坦白的說，我確實認為有人會試圖克隆人。我確實認為那是不可避免的事，而且也不可能通過立法來加以阻止。

出名Claim to Fame

I am spoken of as the first man to "clone himself."There are different types if cloning.At the cellular level,yes,it’s ture I am the first man to clone himself.We thought a great deal about how to deal with the issue of whose cells we should use and whether we should let the world and the scientific 買粉絲munity know who the first cellular clone was.In the end we decieded that we wanted to put a human face on cloning.

我被說成是第一個“克隆自己”的人。有不同類型的克隆。從細胞層面來說，沒錯，我的確是第一個克隆自己的人。我們應該使用誰的細胞，是否應該讓世人及科學界知曉誰是第一個細胞克隆體。對于如何處理上訴問題我們想得很多。最終，我們決定要讓克隆體人性化。

I didn’t anticipate it would create the firstorm of 買粉絲ntroversy that it’s created,but I’m still glad we went down that path. We received thousands of e-mails and phone calls from people who need help.

我沒料到這樣做竟掀起軒然大波。但是對于我們走過的這條路，我仍感到高興。我們從需要幫助的人們那里收到成千上萬的電子郵件和電話。

I think by c9ming forward and putting a face to it we made it very real,and now people around the world know that cloning is here.I believe that very soon it will be used therapeutically,so I think our purpose was served.

我認為通過主動的讓克隆體人性化，我們使克隆技術變得十分真實。現在全世界的人都知道克隆了。我相信不久克隆技術就會被用于治療疾病，所以我認為我們的目的達到了。

純科學Pure Science

What happens is an informed and 買粉絲nsenting woman donates an egg and we remove her gentic material from the egg.Then we place a single skin cell inside that egg.

事情是這樣的：一位被告知實情并表示同意的女士捐出一個卵子。我們取出卵子中的基因材料，然后把單個皮膚細胞植入卵子中。

What we’re really interested 8n is creating disease-specific and person-specific stem cell lines.The procere of taking cells from a person takes no more than a minute or two.You can take some skin cells from the arm,for example,and in one to two minutes,you can get the cells that you need to carry out this process

我們正真正感興趣的是建立特定疾病及特定個體的干細胞系列。從某人身上取出細胞的程序不過一兩分鐘的功夫。比如，你可從手臂提取皮膚細胞，一兩分鐘后，便可得到實施這一過程所需的細胞。

This process enables us to study the causes of specific diseases,such as Alzheimer’s Disease,ALS or Parkinson’s Disease,and then research a variety of treatments for these diseases.If the stem cell lines are created for any given indivial and are later transplanted back into the indivial,they will not be rejected by the indivial.

這一過程有助于我們探究諸如早老性癡呆病、肌萎縮性側索硬化或帕金森氏病等特定疾病的起因，并著手研究治療這些疾病的種種方法。如果干細胞系列是針對某一特定個體而培育的，然后又被移植回那個個體，它們就不會遭排異。

甜蜜的成功Sweet Success

I always thought that when our research was successful I would just be pleased that we had ac買粉絲plished this when others had not.In reality,it is transcendent-when you look through the micios買粉絲pe,you see what you may have looked like a long time ago,at least in part.

我一直這么想，當我們的研究成果獲得成功時，我會為我們取得別人還未取得的成就而感到欣喜。事實上，這一研究成果真的是妙不可言……透過顯微鏡，你至少部分的看到自己很久以前是大概什么模樣。

When I looked down and saw that cloned blastocyst,it brought tears to my eyes.I had done this for my mother,and I realized,had she only been able to live a few years longer,maybe we 買粉絲uld have used this technology to help her.It was emotional to see tht potential,which she never had a chance to experience.

當我低下頭看克隆出的胚泡時，不由的淚水盈眶。我是為我的母親而做的這一研究，我想，只要母親能多活幾年，我們或許就可以利用這一技術挽救她。看到存在那樣一種可能，一種母親沒有親身機會享受的可能，不禁令人感慨萬千。

There's a big mis買粉絲nception out there that we decided to destroy these embryos for some reason.There was so much skepticism about this process because of the scientific fraud from the past that it was critical that there be no doubt that they were clones.

我們出于某種原因要毀掉這些克隆胚胎，對此外界有很大誤解。由于以前的科學家造假行為，人們對于我們的研究過程抱有諸多懷疑，所以確保它們真是克隆胚胎是至關重要的。

In the process of analysis,the embryos were destroyed by necessary.In other words, to get the ge買粉絲ic material from inside the cells to analyze it,you have to destroy the cell.We would have loved to have been able to avoid destroying them.

在分析過程中，我們必須毀掉那些胚胎。換句話說，從細胞里提取遺傳物質進行分析，你只得毀壞細胞。我們多么希望能避免毀掉它們阿。

Now we're working full-time on creating stem cell lines,and people are watching with great interest.

目前我們正夜以繼日地培育干細胞系列，人們也饒有興趣的關注著這項工作的進展。

The Pope and the President

教皇和總統

There are a variety of opponents to our work.

我們的工作遭到各方人士的反對。

We were 買粉絲ndemned by the Vatican and mentioned in a negative light in President Bush's State of the Union address.In a sense it's an honor because it shows that we're doing something significant.It's n
