SWITZERLAND LOSES COUNT OF HUMAN EMBYROS

BERNE, April 3, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Swiss authorities have lost track of how many "surplus" human embryos are in storage in Swiss laboratories. Switzerland's "usually scrupulous statistics gatherers," SwissInfo says, "have failed to keep a tally," spreading alarm through both sides of the debate on the merits and ethics of human experimentation.

To date the only numbers that have been made public by the Federal Health Office are estimates of how many embryos are produced each year, based on reporting from local canton authorities.
