Human cloning will soon be a crime in Japan. The Japanese parliament
passed a law last week banning the creation
of embryos from combining human eggs and non-reproductive cells, as well as
mixing animal and human cells to create hybrid embryos. Anyone flouting the law
could be punished by up to 10 years’ imprisonment or a fine of $90,000.
The legislation has yet to come into effect.
