There are fears that some patents relating to animal cloning may be so broadly written as to allow for the patenting of human cloning processes as well. We believe these fears are unfounded. We have always maintained publicly that what we do here at Lorigen isn’t cloning and is limited to human enhancement. Furthermore, we believe thatthese technologies, including the limited cloning of human organs for donor purposes are important add to the quality of human life. To that end we also believe that the benefits far outweigh any ethical considerations which have been put forth. However, in the interest of transparency, we are posting the article below and we feel that it is important for people to understand these issues so that we may properly address them as they come up.
