WASHINGTON, Aug 20, 2001 (LSN.ca) – Panos Zavos, a professor of reproductive physiology at the University of Kentucky, and Italian fertility doctor Severino Antinori, have announced their cloning plans are to get underway in the next 60 days. Speaking on CBS’ Face the Nation on Sunday, Zavos said, “The production of human cloned embryos can go ahead within the next 60 days, and implantation will of course come later, after we verify that the quality of those embryos is viable enough to yield a healthy pregnancy.”
Meanwhile, a poll in Canada by the Leger Marketing group, known for its very liberal results, claims that a poll has shown that nearly 90 percent of Canadians are against reproductive cloning but that 55.4% of those surveyed said they’d support cloning for such research purposes.
