Science panel backs ban on human reproductive cloning
A National Academy of Sciences panel urged a federal ban on cloning aimed at making new humans due to safety risks for mother and child. Therapeutic cloning to produce stem cells should be allowed, as embryos would not be implanted. The White House and House support a ban on reproductive cloning, with Senate debates ongoing. London appeals court upheld regulations authorizing therapeutic cloning, while cloning babies remains outlawed there.

INS chief seeks safeguards to prove foreign adoptees are orphans
INS Commissioner James Ziglar said he is drafting changes to international adoption procedures to ensure that children adopted by U.S. parents are genuine orphans. He proposes issuing the visa before the adoption is finalized to verify orphan status and prevent trafficking or theft. He noted recent suspensions of Cambodian adoption visas and dispatched officials to Cambodia, Thailand, and Vietnam to review cases.
