Russian Parliament extends ban on human cloning
The Russian Parliament’s upper house, the Council of the Federation, has approved a law to extend a provisional ban on human cloning. The law will be in effect until a special-purpose federal law comes into force in Russia. Earlier Russia also banned human cloning for a period of five years, from 2002 to 2007. The new law does not forbid cloning cells and organisms for research purposes, as well as transplants cloning. In 2005 the United Nations adopted a declaration urging that all forms of human cloning should be banned. Most nations have already passed laws to the effect, imposing penalties if they are broken.
