- 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.
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?
