EDINBURG, England, Feb 6, 2001 (LSN.ca) – In an interview with Michael Brown of Sprit Daily, Dr. H. D. Griffin, assistant director at the Roslin Institute, the Scottish enterprise that cloned Dolly the sheep, said attempts to clone humans are unacceptable and will lead in many cases to deformities, fetal death, and shortened life spans if indeed cloned humans are born. “Where animals have been cloned, the success rate – the number of reconstructed embryos that make it to a live birth – is around one to two percent, and so the process is very inefficient,” he said.
“Nobody working in this field knowing the high incidence of failures and the fact that fetuses die late and sometimes are abnormal would ever contemplate attempting to clone a human child.”
