First Human Clone In Australia?
Written by WTJ on June 8, 2008 – 9:34 pm -
Two separate research groups from Monash University and Melbourne lab of the Australian Stem Cell Centre submitted licence requests for creating cloned human embryos. By working with Sydney IVF, the teams could create cloned human embryos using fertility treatment left over spare eggs. The cloned embryos would be destroyed within seven days old and once stem cells were collected. This could lead to a cure for Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and Huntington’s diseases, and type 1 diabetes in less than 10 years. National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) will decide approval of the applications this week. Tomas Stojanov, Sydney IVF research director, was confident that both applications would be approved.
