S Koreans call for baby clone ban...
...but not for a ban on "therapeutic cloning."
...but not for a ban on "therapeutic cloning."
- The South Korean scientists are the latest group of mainstream scientists to call for a global ban, an idea which was first discussed at the United Nations three years ago.
Late last year, around 60 national academies of science from around the world called for a global ban on reproductive cloning, but said researchers should be free to experiment, as the Korean team did, with therapeutic cloning.
That was the position adopted by a number of governments led by France, Germany and Belgium during UN discussions.
But they are opposed by another block led by the United States and Spain which wants a complete ban on all cloning research.
