Dolly was born 22 years ago and was the first mammal cloned with this process. While there might be some failures for an organization attempting to clone a human I suspect an organization with prior cloning experience could reduce the fail

In the US the legal age of adulthood is 18. This is very far from the actual maturity point. It's not infantalizing to be accepting and unsuprised when a 18-22 year old does something childish. Edit: Being a child, and acting childish

Authoring a book is very passive income. Passive income is defined as high upfront work and very low maintenance work. Other than possible marketing tasks the author's job is done once the book is published and collects money on every

I wouldn't consider a career in science to be high risk. It's often easy to transfer from academic science to private engineering. Science degrees holders have respectable earnings on average.

Some classes are on the critical path to graduation. I wouldn't suggest delaying an entire degree because one or two classes have bad exams. Cheating to avoid memorization is childish, but let's not forget that students are usual

Can you imagine the confusion? Having the same word mean a different amount of something would cause a lot of misunderstanding. Saying "This car weighs 2200 poundsm" have two different meanings depending on the year you said it

NYC is very urban, but it isn't even the largest or most dense city in North America. I think you just have a bias against heavy urban areas. Lots of people are comfortable living in large dense cities. Hundreds of millions, if not mor

7 figure personal income for the owners of a services company is not unheard of. The owner might elect to keep money in the business account instead of transferring it to a personal one for tax reasons. If you are fully in control of the b

I cannot imagine an iPad mini being part of the replacement of smart phones. The thing is, I want the biggest screen that can fit into my pocket. Maybe something else can replace that need (glasses, projectors, holigrams) but whatever it i

> In a business that brings in $1 million in revenue, the owner could very likely be in the highest tax bracket and is likely to take home an income in the mid-six figures. Then again, that is a lot more than the average American makes.
