The last several years have been quite eventful in the field of biotechnology. President Bush was castigated for modest restrictions on federal funding of human ESCR and his policy is on the brink of being overturned. Several countries outlawed all human cloning. Some, like the UK moved full speed ahead into human SCNT. Hwang Wu-suk claimed to have created cloned human embryos, only later to have been proved a charlatan. California passed Proposition 71 which will pour $3 billion over 10 years into cloning and ESCR.
