Yesterday , the chief executive at biotech fellowship Stemagen became the first grownup human to see his ringer mature into a viable embryo . No , Samuel Wood is n’t plan to raise his own babe clone — he ’s just doing inquiry into a new way of create stem cadre from adult DNA . But scientists point out that the embryo he create was viable enough to be implanted in a woman ’s womb , IVF - dash . There ’s no ground to conceive it would n’t mature into a human baby .
investigator took desoxyribonucleic acid from one of Wood ’s cutis cells , injected it into a human egg cadre from the fertility rate clinic next door to Stemagen , and created a multi - celled fertilized egg — basically the same size conceptus that a fertility rate clinic would plant into a adult female undergoing IVF treatment . Wood , however , emphasizes that he ’s horror-struck by the mind of human cloning and wants only to practice this novel technique to make stem cells for sanative purposes .
I say , bring on the human clone . Kerry Macintosh , a law prof , has recently write a fascinating book , Illegal Beings , about how the biggest job with human clon is their legal status . She debate that when a human knockoff is pay its identity will have to be kept surreptitious — under current law , the clone ’s existence is illegal and therefore it would have no human rights and would have to be attach by the governance if line up out . So there might be human clones out there right now , but the frightened parent would never reveal it for fear of losing their child .
