Definitely not the case for Britain. They have a long tradition in the reproductive and cloning fields (remember Dolly?) However, they also have a very strong legal and regulatory system in place to make sure it stays within very strict bounds. Here's an article, the second half of which addresses that particular area: http://www.csmonitor.com/2004/0521/p01s04-woeu.html > Meanwhile, amniotic stem cells are showing even better promise than > embryonic and no controversy. Very early to say for sure. But yes, amnionic cells may be the biggest breakthrough so far. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 Experience Flex 2 & MX7 integration & create powerful cross-platform RIAs http:http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;56760587;14748456;a?http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/flex2/?sdid=LVNU Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:225370 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
