Japan legalises cloning to grow human organs in animals!

[Guest guest]

Cloning laws in Japan to allow human-animal mix

 

Japan says it will allow combined human-animal embryos to be produced through

cloning.

 

Ministers hope the move will lead to transplant organs being produced in

specially-bred animals.

 

Opponents worry that scientists will now be able to produce mixed-species

creatures.

 

Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi, who chairs the government's council for

science and technology policy, announced the decision.

 

It means the implanting of human cells into fertilized animal eggs for medical

purposes will be allowed.

 

But the Daily Yomiuri reports that human cloning will be illegal under the

guidelines.
