It was Dolly the sheep in London England, lead by Ian Wilmut and the world's first mammal cloned from an adult and want to create cloned human embryos for stem cell research, one of the scientists said Wednesday. A South Korean-led team reported in February the world's first successful cloning of a human embryo and the culling of stem cells from it. Britain legalized therapeutic cloning in 2001, becoming the first country in the world to do so. The move allowed scientists to create cloned embryos only for purposes of extracting stem cells for medical research. The extraction, which is done when the embryo is a few days old, means the clones cannot develop into babies. The embryos are only allowed to be developed until they are 14 days old. But scientists wishing to perform therapeutic cloning in Britain also need a license from the government's Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority, which has not yet granted any for the procedure. The HFEA says it looks "very carefully at the scientific, ethical and medical issues before granting any license for research on human embryos." The body wasn't immediately able to say whether it had rejected any therapeutic cloning license applications in the past. Cloning could be a great thing to help with many diseases, but, there are always the greedy, the powerful that would want to take it one more step into a very dangerous zone. What if you could clone Hitler, Bin Laden, etc.? Parents who's children pass on could be cloned and it's basically playing God. Believe in God or not, but cloning is a new field and genetic problems could well occur. This is a tough decision for just not scientists (they are more intriqued and excited over the prospects) but society will have to live with ups and down and, the guilt of it because there is always a downside to most things such as this.
