I think you may have elided some sticky ethical issues here concerning 
tissue harvesting, Jim.  E.g., the Telegraph reported:  "One reason for the 
departure of Prof Gosden, 51, is the national backlash against 
biotechnology, and evidence of a Government retreat in the face of this 
'bioangst', notably when it blocked the use of 'therapeutic cloning' in 
which embryos are cloned to make tissue for transplant."
