] Panayiotis Zavos, of the Kentucky Center for Reproductive
] Medicine, Lexington, US, say his team has shown that
] cells taken from humans after death could be used for
] cloning. This latest work is purely experimental and no
] embryos were implanted for cloning, said Zavos,
] announcing the results at his own press conference in
] London, UK.
]
] However, the claims were immediately met with both
] revulsion and scepticism from the UK scientific
] community.
]
] "The work is both scientifically questionable and
] ethically unacceptable," says Richard Gardner of the
] UK Royal Society's working group on stem cell research
] and cloning. "It is grossly misleading to suggest
] that you can replicate a loved one by producing a cloned
] person with the same genetic material."
