  • Human Clone's Birth Predicted
    Infertility researcher Panos Zavos predicted yesterday that his Kentucky-based human cloning team will produce a pregnancy this year, with the delivery of a cloned human being coming in 2003.

  • Genie out of the bottle on cloning
    Saying the genie already was out of the bottle on cloning, a Kentucky fertility expert predicted on Wednesday that he would clone a human baby later this year even as lawmakers scramble to prevent scientists from cloning humans.

  • Cloning guru says babies on their way
    The Italian fertility expert whose avowed aim is to create the first human clone, said Wednesday three women were pregnant with clones, but complained that the babies would be viewed as freaks by a hostile society.

  • Senate faces fiercest fight: cloning
    The Senate is gearing up for a historic decision on human-embryo cloning that could affect everything from medical research to how the sanctity of human life is defined - and which party controls Capitol Hill in 2003.

  • Scientists clone calf from cells of slaughtered cow
    Scientists at the University of Georgia have produced the first calf cloned from cells of a slaughtered cow, a breakthrough that they say will allow cattle producers to select and clone the choicest beef from their stock.

  • Researchers Eye New Stem Cell Source
    Defective embryos could limit controversy surrounding research, scientist says.
    Precursor neural cells derived from human embryonic stem cells grow in a lab.
    Now, scientists have shown that defective cloned frog embryos produced useful stem cells.

  • Cloned mice are super-sized, study finds
    It's not easy being a clone. Your cells age prematurely, you're prone to develop arthritis at a young age - and you get fat.

  • The Power of the Stem Cell
    The volatile debate about human embryonic stem cell research continues to rage. But in order to fully understand the ethical and political implications surrounding this research, it is important to first understand the science. What makes stem cells so special?

  • Cloning: What Other Dilemmas Lie Ahead?
    Genetically groomed athletes, designer children and pig organ transplants are some of the genetic issues, besides cloning, that lie ahead.

  • Bush Backs Ban of All Human Cloning
    In a speech evoking images of embryo farms, custom-made children and desperate women pressured into selling their eggs, President Bush urged the Senate on Wednesday to outlaw all forms of human cloning.

  • Human cloning project claims progress
    A woman taking part in a controversial human cloning programme for infertile couples is now eight weeks pregnant, revealed Dr Severino Antinori, the well known Italian doctor involved in the cloning project banned in his home country and the USA.

  • Doubt and Shock Greet Cloning Pregnancy Report
    Scientists reacted with skepticism and shock on Saturday to a report that a woman taking part in a controversial human cloning program for infertile couples was eight weeks pregnant.

  • French Scientists Clone Bunnies
    French scientists say they have successfully cloned rabbits from adult cells for the first time.

  • Stem Cells, and Moral Guilt
    The National Institutes of Health Guidelines for Research Using Human Pluripotent Stem Cells contained no surprises for those who have been monitoring the development of those protocols. What some may find surprising is the relative ease with which NIH both appeals to a legal apparition and falls prey to several ethical fallacies.

  • Dolly Develops Arthritis
    Dolly, the world's first cloned sheep, has developed arthritis at a relatively early age, renewing debate about whether cloned animals are susceptible to premature aging and health problems.
    Ian Wilmut of the Edinburgh-based Roslin Institute, one of Dolly's creators, said that the 51/2-year-old sheep has arthritis in her left hind leg, hip and knee.

  • Cloned Pigs May Offer Humans Organs
    The cloned piglets, named Noel, Angel, Star, Joy and Mary, were created by PPL Therapeutics, the company that brought Dolly the sheep into the world.
    In what many experts say is a major step toward producing a virtually unlimited supply of human transplant organs, two rival teams of scientists have cloned piglets lacking one of the two genes that prompt the human immune system to reject swine tissue. But some expressed reservations.

  • Pig Cloning Feat Sparks Organ Debate
    As science moves closer to using pig organs for human transplants, experts caution that the technique could transfer deadly swine viruses. Meanwhile, some ethicists question the whole idea of using animals to make spare parts for people.

  • Cloned human planned 'by 2003'
    Professor Panos Zavos: The world must "come to grips with cloning"
    A private consortium of scientists plans to clone a human being within the next two years.
