Quite a few of you are writing projects that deal with medical ethics in different ways. I thought that this article might be interesting to you folks:
A controversial fertility doctor claimed yesterday to have cloned 14 human embryos and transferred 11 of them into the wombs of four women who had been prepared to give birth to cloned babies.
The cloning was recorded by an independent documentary film-maker who has testified to The Independent that the cloning had taken place and that the women were genuinely hoping to become pregnant with the first cloned embryos specifically created for the purposes of human reproduction.
The skeptic in me says that this “news story” is a publicity stunt for a documentary.
