First Cloned Human Embryo

Posted by timothy on from the pregnant-moment dept.

Human cloning, or at least the production of human embryos, is no longer hypothetical; a company called Advanced Cell Technology claims to have successfully done just that. DivideX0 writes: "The Scientific American has this article. Note the research was conducted in the U.S. although there are bills pending in Washington that will ban this research." There's also a story at MSNBC. Update: 11/25 16:07 GMT by T : Here's ACT's press release as well.

    Well, luckily George Lucas will be filling the gaps come next year!!

    In May 2002, the world will finally see the dangers of cloning and the disasterous effects it could have on The Republic!!!
