[Why not?]--"China to continue cloning research: "
[World News]: BEIJING, Feb. 21 : China says it will continue research into therapeutic cloning despite a weekend U.N. declaration banning all forms of human cloning.

The Legal Committee of the United Nations passed a declaration Saturday to ban all forms of human cloning in the interest of respecting human dignity and protecting human life. The resolution passed 71-35, with 43 abstentions.

The Chinese government opposes cloning for reproductive purposes, but supports embryo stem cell research for the treatment and prevention of disease, China Daily reported Monday.

China could become an international center for therapeutic cloning research and a provider of embryo stem cells for other countries, a medical expert told the Jing Bao newspaper in Beijing.

South Korea's Ministry of Health and Welfare also said Monday that the country would continue its stem cell research as the declaration was non-binding, the Korea Times reported.

Supporters of the research say it could lead to cures for cancer, diabetes, spinal cord injuries and Alzheimer's disease.
