This Week's Letters

Iceland's recently passed bill approving a privately owned central database of health records is defended in a letter from an Icelandic government official. Two Georgetown University faculty members offer their views of a grievance filed by the faculty against the administration and express hope that the administration will reconsider their decision about a university-wide compensation policy. An animal husbandry expert says that "making transgenic livestock by injecting livestock [is not likely to] make livestock cloning obsolete." The use of phytolith analysis to date the origin of agriculture in South America is questioned. And the staffing of adequate science and technology experts in the U.S. State Department is advocated.
