EDINBURGH, Feb 23 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Thanks to a meticulous search through a 235-page patent application document, Greenpeace has discovered that the European Patent Office approved human cloning last December.  The Patent Office claimed yesterday that the approval was “by mistake”.  The Telegraph reports that EP 695351 was granted last December to the University of Edinburgh and the Australian company Stem Cell Sciences.

Christian Gugerell, head of the biotechnology section of the Munich-based patent office, said:  “We’ve committed a very serious error. It’s not our practice to grant patents on human beings.”
