"Scientists are to be permitted to use tissue from dead people to create cloned human stem cells for research, under a legal change put forward by the government.Health ministers have proposed that laboratories should be allowed to use stored human tissue to create cloned embryonic stem cells without the explicit consent of the tissue donor. This would allow research to be done on tissue donated for medical research as long as 30 years ago. "http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/science/article4040290.ece

soooo, stem cells from clones of dead people are ok, but fetus stem cells aren't?sure, makes sense.

>>6796 >but fetus stem cells aren't?This is the UK, where if MPs admit to believing in any kind of fumdamentalist religion (especially Xtianity), they're told to keep it to themselves by their leaders (& the party whips), as public disclosure would be political suicide for said party. And even Pro-Life lobbyists are seen as weirdo fringe freaks here (especially by said political parties). And where, in our Parliament recently, a ban on Stem Cell research was rejected.Welcome to the Secular, ATHEIST UK. And where Americans will have to come for related Gene Therapy in the near future. Enjoy your medically backward USA.
