*** China academy bans research into human cloning

The Chinese Academy of Sciences has banned all research into the
cloning of humans, saying sexual reproduction was fundamental for
survival of the species, the Xinhua news agency said Monday. The
agency quoted Academy Vice President Xu Zhihong as saying that
"banning the use of cloning to copy humans is absolutely necessary to
maintain ethical morality which holds together today's human society."
British scientists created the world's first cloned sheep in late
February, sparking controversy around the world. For the full text
