Dr. Frankenstein

Meet Dr. Zavos, a U.S. Reproductive Scientist, who claims to have cloned 14 human embryos and transferred 11 of them into four women.  Poor Dr. Zavos, he has failed to establish a successful pregnancy.  However, he intends to continue his work.  "We managed to write chapter one. In chapter two we will have a child a parent can take home and raise as a cloned child."  This same doctor is reportedly engaged in experiments in creating human/animal hybrid clones using de-nucleated cow ova and genetic material from the blood cells of a deceased 10 yr old girl.  DO YOU STILL THINK HE IS A REAL DOCTOR or Doctor Frankenstein?  Dr. Zavos claimed that this research was meant to help him understand the cloning process, but these embryos were not intended for implantation.  Shades of Dr. Mengle.

Perhaps you are not aware that Britain recently passed legislation specifically allowing for the creation of human/cow embryos for this type of research.  Dr. Zavos has authored or coauthored more than 400 peer-review publications and serves as a member of the International Advisory Committee of the Middle East Fertility Society and is a past board member of the China Academy of Science.

One wonders what he has been doing in the Middle East, not to mention China.
