Our House of Lords has just allowed the cloning of human embryos for research - it will take nine months for this law to grant license for companies to go ahead but....
It was expected the House of Lords would block this.
This now means that the research can go ahead on "spare" embryos from IVF treatment.
Are we talking people here - or spare babies - or just a few spare cells?
I don't know!
Sorry - I realise that this is not a PET topic - it just is very related.
Should we stop this subject here? Is it more suited to other sites or are you interested?
I feel a little uncomfortable putting it here as I don't think this is what this site is for - but I am happy to go on discussing it if others are. Karen and Paul, what do you think?
