WASHINGTON, Dec. 15 /U.S. Newswire/ -- The following is a statement by Daniel Perry, president of Coalition for the Advancement of Medical Research, on the Hwang/Schatten Cloning Paper Published in Science magazine, June 2005:
December 15, 2005
"The validity of a paper, published in the journal Science, that demonstrated the extraction of stem cells from cloned human embryos has now been called into question. We fully support an investigation into these allegations and support the scientific community in calling on the authors to cooperate with them in conducting independent tests of the cell lines.
"Despite this apparent setback, the field of embryonic stem cell research and therapeutic cloning remains incredibly promising as demonstrated by some of our nation's leading scientists.
"This is just another reason that this field of research should be allowed to be conducted in the U.S. under the strict supervision of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and its stringent peer- review system.
