Irish scientist among team alerting UN about human cloning

AN IRISH scientist is part of a team which has just informed the United Nations that human cloning is very close to becoming a reality.

Dr Brendan Tobin, formerly with the National University of Ireland, now with the UN University in Japan, was one of four authors who wrote “Is Human Reproductive Cloning Inevitable: future options for UN Governance”.

The document warns human cloning is so close to becoming a reality the world must move quickly to ban it or protect cloned humans from “potential abuse, prejudice and discrimination”.
