The US Senate has rejected a bill to outlaw human cloning. The bill, which
was rushed to the Senate floor after the scientist Richard Seed announced his
plans to open a cloning clinic, would have outlawed the creation of a human
embryo by nuclear transfer. But scientific and medical groups lobbied heavily
against it, claiming it could hamper life-saving research. And President
Clinton, who favours a ban, said this one went too far.
