- World stem cell policies
- World cloning policies
Ecuador
- Embryonic stem cell research as well as therapeutic and reproductive cloning is banned.
- Research on human embryos (and therefore cloning) is prohibited as of June 1998.
Peru
- Embryonic stem cell research is not specifically prohibited, but therapeutic and reproductive cloning are banned.
- Fertilization of a human ovum with intent other than procreation is prohibited, as well as human cloning (General Health Law, 1997).
Uruguay
- Embryonic stem cell research and therapeutic cloning are not specifically prohibited, but reproductive cloning is.
Europe
Austria
- Embryonic stem cell research as well as therapeutic and reproductive cloning is banned.
- Reproductive medicine is acceptable only within stable heterosexual relationships for the purpose of reproduction. Embryos can be used only for implantation in the woman who has donated the
oocytes , and for no other purposes. Donation of
embryos or
gametes is prohibited (Federal Law of 1992 Regulating Medically Assisted Procreation).
Belgium
- Embryonic stem cell research and therapeutic cloning are permitted, but reproductive cloning is banned as of May 2003.
Czech republic
- Embryonic stem cell research is permitted using lines created from unused IVF eggs.
Denmark
- Embryonic stem cell research is not specifically prohibited, but therapeutic and reproductive cloning and the funding of such activities are as of 2003.
Estonia
- Embryonic stem cell research is allowed, but reproductive and therapeutic cloning are banned.
Finland
- Embryonic stem cell research and therapeutic cloning are permitted, but reproductive cloning is banned.
- The act defines embryo as a fusion of gametes, so therapeutic cloning is permitted, but reproductive cloning is prohibited (Medical Research Act of 1999).
France
- Embryonic stem cell research is allowed, but therapeutic and reproductive cloning are banned.
- Research on human embryonic stem cells is now allowed until embryos are 6-8 days old. Embryos cannot be created specifically for research -- scientists must use existing embryos from IVF. Embryonic stem cell lines are typically imported from abroad.
Georgia
- Embryonic stem cell research is not specifically prohibited, but therapeutic and reproductive cloning are.
- Human cloning through the use of genetic engineering is prohibited (1997 Law on Health Care).
Germany
- Embryonic stem cell research is permitted, but all forms of cloning (reproductive and therapeutic) are banned.
- It is Illegal to create any new stem cell lines after December 2001.
Greece
- Embryonic stem cell research is permitted, but reproductive cloning is banned.
Hungary
- Embryonic stem cell research is not specifically prohibited, but reproductive and therapeutic cloning are.
- The national law (1997) does not explicitly address or prohibit embryonic stem cell research or therapeutic cloning.
Iceland
- Embryonic stem cell research is permitted using lines created from unused IVF eggs and for development or fertility research.
- Reproductive and therapeutic cloning are prohibited (Act on Artificial Fertilisation, 1996).
Ireland
- Embryonic stem cell research as well as therapeutic and reproductive cloning is banned.
- Human cloning is prohibited because the "right to life of an unborn child is equal to that of the mother" as stated in the Constitution of Ireland.

Anatomy is the identification and description of the structures of living things

what's the difference between anatomy and physiology
Anatomy is the study of the structure of the body, while physiology is the study of the function of the body. Anatomy looks at the body's organs and systems, while physiology looks at how those organs and systems work together to keep the body functioning.

what is enzymes all about?
Enzymes are proteins that help speed up chemical reactions in our bodies. Enzymes are essential for digestion, liver function and much more. Too much or too little of a certain enzyme can cause health problems

what is the normal body temperature
please why 37 degree selcius normal temperature
Mark
the normal temperature is 37°c or 98.6 °Fahrenheit is important for maintaining the homeostasis in the body
the body regular this temperature through the process called thermoregulation which involves brain skin muscle and other organ working together to maintain stable internal temperature
