- World stem cell policies
- World cloning policies
Italy
- Embryonic stem cell research, as well as therapeutic and reproductive cloning are banned.
Latvia
- Embryonic stem cell research is permitted, but therapeutic and reproductive cloning are prohibited, as of the 2002 Law on Sexual and Reproductive Health.
Lithuania
- Embryonic stem cell research as well as therapeutic and reproductive cloning are prohibited.
- Human embryos may be subjects only of clinical observations (non-invasive investigations).
The netherlands
- Embryonic stem cell research is permitted, but all forms of cloning (reproductive and therapeutic) are banned.
- There is a five year moratorium (ending in 2007) prohibiting therapeutic cloning.
Norway
- Embryonic stem cell research, as well as therapeutic and reproductive cloning is banned.
- Research on embryos and the use of techniques aimed at the production of genetically identical individuals is prohibited (The Medical Use of Biotechnology, 1995).
Poland
- Human reproductive cloning and embryonic research are specifically prohibited.
- Human embryos may not be used for non-therapeutic research.
Portugal
- Embryonic stem cell research is permitted, but reproductive cloning is banned and therapeutic cloning is implicitly prohibited.
- The law states that the cloning of human beings is prohibited (National Council of Ethics for the Life Sciences, 1997).
Russian federation
- Embryonic stem cell research is not specifically prohibited, but therapeutic and reproductive cloning are.
- For a five-year period starting in 2002, human cloning is prohibited, as well as the import and export of human cloned embryos (Law on Temporary Prohibition of Human Reproductive Cloning, 2002).
Slovakia
- Embryonic stem cell research as well as therapeutic and reproductive cloning are banned.
Slovenia
- Embryonic stem cell research is not specifically prohibited, but therapeutic and reproductive cloning are.
- Human cloning for reproductive and therapeutic purposes is prohibited by the Law on Medically Assisted Reproduction (2000) and the Penal Code (2002).
Spain
- Embryonic stem cell research is permitted, but reproductive and therapeutic cloning are banned.
- Any therapeutic intervention, investigation, or research activity in pre-embryos in vitro, pre-embryos, or embryos and fetuses in utero will be authorized only if it does not alter the genetic makeup of the embryo, and as long as it is not aimed at one particular individual or race-selection. Research on in vitro embryos is allowed with parental consent, after the embryos have been frozen for five years or more.
Sweden

Switzerland
- Embryonic stem cell research is allowed on excess stocks of embryos produced naturally for artificial insemination.
- Therapeutic and reproductive cloning are banned.
Turkey
- Embryonic stem cell research is not specifically prohibited.
- Therapeutic cloning is allowed, but reproductive cloning is not (as of 1996).
Ukraine
- Embryonic stem cell research and therapeutic cloning are not specifically permitted, but reproductive cloning is banned.
Questions & Answers
A golfer on a fairway is 70 m away from the green, which sits below the level of the fairway by 20 m. If the golfer hits the ball at an angle of 40° with an initial speed of 20 m/s, how close to the green does she come?
A mouse of mass 200 g falls 100 m down a vertical mine shaft and lands at the bottom with a speed of 8.0 m/s. During its fall, how much work is done on the mouse by air resistance
Can you compute that for me. Ty

what is the dimension formula of energy?
Chemistry is a branch of science that deals with the study of matter,it composition,it structure and the changes it undergoes
Adjei
please, I'm a physics student and I need help in physics

chemistry could also be understood like the sexual attraction/repulsion of the male and female elements. the reaction varies depending on the energy differences of each given gender. + masculine -female.

A ball is thrown straight up.it passes a 2.0m high window 7.50 m off the ground on it path up and takes 1.30 s to go past the window.what was the ball initial velocity
2. A sled plus passenger with total mass 50 kg is pulled 20 m across the snow (0.20) at constant velocity by a force directed 25° above the horizontal. Calculate (a) the work of the applied force, (b) the work of friction, and (c) the total work.
you have been hired as an espert witness in a court case involving an automobile accident. the accident involved car A of mass 1500kg which crashed into stationary car B of mass 1100kg. the driver of car A applied his brakes 15 m before he skidded and crashed into car B. after the collision, car A s
can someone explain to me, an ignorant high school student, why the trend of the graph doesn't follow the fact that the higher frequency a sound wave is, the more power it is, hence, making me think the phons output would follow this general trend?
Nevermind i just realied that the graph is the phons output for a person with normal hearing and not just the phons output of the sound waves power, I should read the entire thing next time
Joseph
Follow up question, does anyone know where I can find a graph that accuretly depicts the actual relative "power" output of sound over its frequency instead of just humans hearing

what are the types of wave
Maurice
fine, how about you?

A string is 3.00 m long with a mass of 5.00 g. The string is held taut with a tension of 500.00 N applied to the string. A pulse is sent down the string. How long does it take the pulse to travel the 3.00 m of the string?
Who can show me the full solution in this problem?
