The Dolly scientists aren't content with an arthritic cloned sheep. They now want permission to clone human embryonic cells.

"The scientists who cloned Dolly the sheep said on Thursday they plan to seek permission to experiment on human embryos for medical purposes. In a move expected to raise concerns from some religious groups, the Roslin Institute will apply for a license to the Human Fertilization and Embryology Authority, the British government body that regulates embryo research."
