The World Medical Association, the global representative body for physicians, has expressed its serious concern about
experiments on cloning by a private research company. The organization has always been strongly opposed to the cloning
of human beings, for whatever reason.
The WMA President, Dr. Enrique Accorsi, a paediatric surgeon, stated: "It is unacceptable that this type of research has
gone this far. The WMA wants to state its unambiguous opposition to the cloning of human beings."
