BEIJING, Dec 19, 01 (LSN.ca/CWNews.com) - Communist China has joined Britain in its allowance of human cloning. While both countries say they will not allow reproductive cloning, the result of the legislation would thus mandate the death of the human embryos created by cloning.
Mercury News reports that in China restrictions such as banning destructive research on embryos and so-called "therapeutic" cloning are not being contemplated. Yanguan Wang, an ethicist who is helping to draft new research guidelines from the Ministry of Health said that the government may choose not to fund certain controversial research but it will not prohibit it.
