Britain is getting credit for being the first nation set to ban cloning.
Truth is, they are the first to have legalized it.
Last week, the British health secretary announced that the Labour party will offer legislation to ban cloning. But there's one catch. What Britain would ban is so-called reproductive cloning, in which a cloned embryo gets implanted into a woman's womb. In other words, cloning is okay so long as no one survives. The disingenuousness of the British campaign may be a product of the political season a month or so away from an expected election.
