Germany Condemning Dolly Cloner Wilmut as Recipient of Prestigious Ehrlich Science Prize
FRANKFURT, March 17, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Germans are
expressing their disapproval at the choice of this year’s recipient of
the prestigious Ehrlich prize – the UK’s embryonic research advocate
and Dolly cloner, Ian Wilmut.
Germans are upset that someone involved in research that is illegal in
Germany would be awarded the country’s top prize in medical research,
including €100,000 in prize money, half of which is from German tax
coffers. Wilmut was granted permission last month by UK health and
research authorities to begin human cloning experiments. Wilmut told
the BBC News that he intends to create cloned human embryos
deliberately in order to study motor neuron disease.
The Marburger Bund physician’s organization said it is “more than
strange when a British scientist whose cloning experiments would be
punished here in Germany is rewarded with German tax money,” according
to a biomedcentral.com report.
In a statement, German Research Foundation (DFG) President Ernst-Ludwig
Winnacker added, “Concerning therapeutic cloning, our opinion is
unchanged, that therapeutic procedures with humans is the wrong way.”
The Paul Ehrlich and Ludwig Darmstaedter Prize is associated with Frankfurt University.
