STEM-CELL BILL RESURFACES

Declaring that opponents of embryonic stem-cell research are "on the wrong side of history," Sen. Orrin Hatch has again unveiled legislation that would legalize the controversial research but also make it a crime to clone human beings.

HOUSE PASSES EMBRYONIC STEM CELL BILL

After impassioned debate, the House passed a controversial bill Tuesday that
would expand public funding for embryonic stem cell research -- a measure
President Bush threatened to veto last week.

South Korea is making amazing progress in this and by the set up of a world stem cell bank we are talking about major dollars and focus within this region - more especially because it is not in the US and so all the 'restrictions' do not apply.

South Korea Scientist Will Create Embryonic Stem Cell Bank

Seoul, South Korea (LifeNews.com) -- The scientist who has created international controversy by cloning human beings to destroy for their stem cells says he wants to set up a worldwide stem cell bank to house the new patient-match embryonic stem cell she's created. South Korean cloning scientist Hwang Woo-suk says he hopes the stem cell bank will allow researchers to grow replacement tissue to treat diseases. The bank would consolidate the available embryonic stem cell lines and allow scientists to look for the right type for research needs. "We hope to open a world stem cell bank, as early as this year, in Korea," Hwang told the Associated Press. "We will start with what we have, offering them to those patients who sincerely want them for the right reasons."

Cloning Human

Kind of an interesting idea - a bank to hold the remains of "create for purpose" human tissues.

BTW, the only "restrictions" in the US are on government funding. Anyone can do embryonic stem cell research. They just can't (theoretically) get government grants to do so.

Human Cloning?

Thanks for the correction, I thought that the US had allowed research, but I did not know it reached the extent of South Korea where whole body parts could be 'grown' as has been reported by some news agencies. Who knows what goes on behind the scenes and what is only reported.

U.S. Lags Behind Most Nations in Banning Human Cloning

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- When Congress considered legislation to allow taxpayer funding of embryonic stem cell research, some lawmakers and biotech lobbyists said the United States was in danger of falling behind the world community if it didn't back the research or human cloning to produce more embryos for science. However, unlike most nations around the world, the United States does not have a ban on human cloning for either reproductive or research purposes. That's in part because embryonic stem cell research advocates refuse to back a wholesale ban on the practice because they want to leave the door open to scientists to use cloning to clone and kill human embryos for their stem cells. Yet, in Canada and some European nations, not only are both forms of human cloning prohibited, using taxpayer funds for cloning to produce embryonic stem cells is as well. The United States, on the other hand, has restrictions on public funds for new embryonic stem cell research but states are free to fund it with tax dollars and private companies can spend as much as they wish on the unproven science. Meanwhile, the European Union has followed President Bush's policies, much maligned in the U.S., and limited funding of embryonic stem cell research. It also does not fund either reproductive or research cloning. Douglas Johnson, legislative director for the National Right to Life Committee, commentson this phenomenon.
