Embryo Clone First For Country
Newcastle Herald
Saturday May 21, 2005
SCIENTISTS at Britain's Newcastle University have become the first in that country to clone a human embryo.
Researchers hope the work will eventually lead to successful treatments for degenerative diseases such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's, or for the paralysed victims of spinal injuries. The scientists announced their advance as the South Korean researchers revealed their own research. Although a long way behind the Korean research, it is the first time a human cloned embryo has been created in Britain.
