An undisclosed country in the Middle East is hosting a human cloning laboratory.
A leading scientist in cloning has told a weekly Dubai-based magazine he has estabished a lab for human cloning.
Dr Panayiotis Zavos, the Cypriot scientist who is trying to clone a human baby for the first time, told Arabian Business the lack of anti-cloning laws in some Middle Eastern countries made the region attractive for cloning research.
Asked if he had a laboratory for cloning in the region, Zavos said: “The answer to that is yes.” He refused to disclose the exact location.
“My next efforts will be taking place in the Middle East because it is a lot easier an environment to work in. The Middle East is where I have to go as an opportunist, as someone who wants to do something. You go into the environment which is conducive to you doing something,” he said.
Dr Zavos added the Middle East’s patriarchal culture coupled with high infertility rates could prove to make it a lucrative region for future cloning.
According to Arabian Business in 2005, the UN General Assembly approved a non-binding declaration banning all forms of human cloning, which was backed by all the GCC countries, except for Oman, which abstained.
Dr Zavos claimed in 2004 to have successfully cloned the first human embryo for reproductive purposes, however there is no evidence to support his claim. Last month he said he had created a human and cow hybrid embryo for study purposes, using the skin cells of Cady, a dead ten year old American child.
In an interview with The Independent newspaper eralier this year Dr Zavos said he was not looking to create a human super race.
"We are not interested in cloning the Michael Jordans and the Michael Jacksons of this world," he insisted. "The rich and the famous don't participate in this."

Human cloning taking place in Middle East
Professor Zavos has published all of his scientific work in reputable peer reviewed journals, in spite of what this article is saying regarding the creation of the first clone embryo in the World. You may go to:http://www.zavos.org/library/timeisnear2003.htm to view it and it is cited as: Zavos, P.M.: Human reproductive cloning: The time is near. Reproductive Bio-Medicine Online, 6(4), 2003.
Professor Zavos is a true pioneer that wants to help humanity and make this World a better place for all of us. We need people like him!!

As an attorney I welcome DR. Zavos work. I read all of his papers published in peer review journals and they are very impressive. For those that claim that Dr. Zavos has not published his work, you better learn how to read and then visit his site at www.zavos.org and read them all. He is doing a magnificent job in displaying them for the reader that is willing to read before he speaks!!!!
Good luck.

Human Cloning Experimentation
I Never Would Have Thought Anyone Would Actually Go Through With Experiments Like That Many Years Ago Cloning Humans In A Laboratory Congratulations To Those People Who Take This Responsibility Considerable And Sincere

I met Dr. Zavos sometime ago and he is definitely one of a kind. He is a driven man and someone that can get the job done. He is an awesome scvientist and pioneer that has the vission for the future of the World. For me it was an honor to meet him and wish him and his outstanding team of researchers, all the best. Shie shie!!!

What a break through!!!
Go Professor Zavos. I agree that what you do will make all of us better and definitely the World a better place.
I do like your line “We are not interested in cloning the Michael Jordans and the Michael Jacksons of this world,". You are definitely making the difference!!

Correction
Professor Zavos is not a Cypriot Scientist but rather an American Scientist of Cypriot origin. That’s a lot different than what you say. It is important that you News Media do report the news accurately.
No matter however, we Cypriots are very proud of him!!!

Who needs God!
I tremble when I see people applauding a scientist who plans to show the world that we don’t need God. Atheists will be astounded if one day they wake up to see the wrath of God visited on this earth because of this effort to replace the Creator as irrelevant. Who needs God as Creator when we have Dr. Zavos?

This is great for perfect people
Human cloning is only good for perfect people. The rest of us imbeciles will be “deselected” out of opportunity at best, and existance at worst.
Or the opposite will happen. Go read Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein.

My Feel On This
I think this is wrong. Why does everyone want to be God? What about a soul? What do we really know about this? Can we be sure these cloned ones will have a soul? Maybe they don’t want them to have a soul. This is probably where the anti-christ will come from.

help us all
A human and a cow, huh? Wow. Why, Doctor? For the love of God — WHY? Because you can. You can clone all your little heart desires, but you can’t give life to the Godforsaken objects! The people who want their own baby so badly, I feel for you. How about adoption? You need to be shot in the head with a Smith and Wesson, Doctor.
