Kim was further cited as saying the project seeks to produce new high value medicines through genetically-altered cloned pigs. South Korean scientists, who cloned a cow in February 1999, have been debating government plans, announced on Monday, to tighten rules on cloning human embryos. The Health and Welfare Ministry called for a strict ban on creating embryos for experiments.
