   HUMANS WILL BE CLONED (V)

   The scientists who cloned the sheep "Dolly" in 1996 will, in a few months time apply to the British authorities for a permit to clone human fetuses. The Roslin Institute in Scotland wants to investigate to get human stem cells from fetuses.
   In Great Britain human cloning is permitted within what is described as "strict limitations". The Prime Minister Tony Blair, though is a firm supporter of genetic technology development and was instrumental in making a deal with the infamous multinational corporation a few years back concerning release of genetic manipulated plants on British fields.
