Scadden’s suggestion that the U.S. should catch up is most troubling because stem cell research using cloned embryos, as in South Korea, relies on a process similar to human cloning. Defending cloning-based stem cell research and attempting to distinguish it from complete cloning, researchers explain that...
If there is a moral distinction to be made between using embryos for research and implanting them in a human womb, then the former is far worse. In the case of full-blown cloning, scientists are at least creating a life; but in the case of cloning-based stem cell...
Although the center will undoubtedly keep the proceedings of its research conspicuously legal, the University’s insistence on pursuing research not sanctioned by federal research grants is nonetheless troubling. There is a reason that federal grants are limited to pre-existing stem cell lines: Considerable debate and controversy...
News that scientists had extracted stem cells from cloned human embryos revived the ethical debate over CLONING HUMANS--a debate TIME explored in 1993, when human embryos were first duplicated.
Once it was out, the news that human embryos had been cloned flew around the world with the speed of sound bites bouncing off satellites ... It was the start of the fiercest scientific debate about medical ethics since the birth of the first test-tube baby 15 years ago. A...
