标 题: Scientific and Medical Aspect of Human Cloning
发信站: 哈工大紫丁香 (2002年03月18日09:57:37 星期一), 站内信件
The questions surrounding human cloning are controversial
and growing more complicated, especially as animal-cloning
efforts move forward. The nation needs a clear, unbiased
examination of the state of the science in this area as
lawmakers and the public grapple with public policy and
ethical issues. A joint panel of the National Academies'
Committee on Science, Engineering, and Public Policy and
the Board on Life Sciences has undertaken a study to review
the relevant scientific and medical research on human
cloning as well as closely related issues regarding
scientific and medical ethics. As part of its work,
the committee will conduct an information-gathering meeting
on Aug. 7.
Because of confusion outside the scientific community
concerning the differences between human cloning and
embryonic stem-cell research, the study also will explain
the distinctions between these two endeavors. It will
assess the current status of animal cloning, including
outcomes of previous trials; whether knowledge of assisted
reproductive technologies can be applied to cloning a
human; criteria that should be used to evaluate the safety
of human cloning; and public policy issues, including
responsible conduct of research. The panel will recommend
a process for evaluating future research and address
whether there should be a moratorium on human cloning.
