Well it seems that “Dr” Blair has got his stuff together in rejecting expert advice and going ahead in banning the cloning of human embryos for any kind of medical research. His reason was that more time is needed to consider the implications. Hmmm, obviously feeling the heat from the current GM food fiasco. The decision, announced in Parliament after months of deliberations, came as a surprise. The move meant embryos may no longer be cloned for infertility and congenital disease research. The government had been expected to follow a recommendation by its advisors that Britain should allow continued research into the cloning of human embryos - provided they were destroyed after a maximum of 14 days - for the treatment of disease, while maintaining a ban on cloning to create babies.
