Dr. Panayiotis Zavos told the public on October 5 that he could create the first cloned human before the end of the year. He is an expert on human copying and breeding from the University of Kentucky in the United States.

　　His workers have been stopped from carrying out research in most European Union countries, but Zavos said that fact was not slowing progress.

　　“It is going well enough so we may try the first production of cloned embryos(晶胚) in the very near future. That is, three or four months from now,” Cypriot— born (在浦路斯出生的) Zavos said. He moved to the United States over 30 years ago.

　　Human cloning could, in effect, create a copy of another living or dead person.

　　But Zavos insisted there was nothing harmful in the project. As an expert on human reproduction, he said he is only interested in helping couples who cannot naturally have babies to have a child.

　　“We are not interested in cloning people like bin Ladea, Michael Jackson or Michael Jordan.”the doctor added.

　　“We are only interested in helping a father who does not have the ability to have a biological child of his own.”

　　Zavos said thousands of childless people from ail over the world are helping in their research.

　　He would not say where the research is under way, but indicated that it is in more than one country.
