Labour calls for State to ban human cloning

THE Government must act now to ban human cloning, Labour’s spokeswoman on health Liz McManus insisted yesterday.

With the rapid momentum that cloning experimentation had recently gained, doing nothing would create a dangerous legislative vacuum, she warned.

The Labour Party has tabled a private members’ bill banning outright human cloning that they hope will be debated by the Dáil at the earliest opportunity.
