A leading Italian embryologist is considering research into human cloning,
using the technique that gave the world Dolly the Sheep. Press reports say
Severino Antinori, of Chieti University in Rome, is considering leaving Italy,
where cloning experiments are banned, to begin work that may allow infertile men
to have children. He plans to seek peer approval first. But many scientists,
including those at the Roslin Institute near Edinburgh, who pioneered cloning
with Dolly, oppose human cloning.
