Human embryo cloned

[Skye]

A research team in South Korea have reported they have cloned several human embryos, and extracted a line of stem cells from one of them. In a paper to be put out in this Friday's issue of Science, they give instructions on the conditions used to culture the embryos, which have proved impossible to clone in the past. The work has already sparked calls for bans on all forms of human cloning, and would have been illegal in the US, due to the restrictions on the recency of embryos allowed for cloning.

Human cloning WILL happen, we can either regulate it and do it safely or let the underground scientists do it with many more failures and deformities.
