British Pro-Life Groups Challenge Scientists' Hybrid Human Cloning Licenses
Source: LifeNews -- Read Full Story
Two British pro-life groups have filed a lawsuit challenging the legality of the two licenses awarded by the government to scientists allowing them to create hybrid human clones. Comment on Reproductive Ethics and the Christian Legal Centre are behind the suit to revoke the licenses for the grisly practice. Earlier this month, the University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne science team announced it has successful created “admixed embryos” -- hybrid clones featuring both human and animal parts. The scientists had received licenses from the British government for the human cloning even though the British parliament has yet to approve the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill officially legally allowing their work. Josephine Quintavalle of CORE told LifeNews.com late Tuesday that the Human Fertilization and Embryology Authority never should have granted authority to the research team and scientists at King’s College, London to engage in human cloning.
