Abstract
Two advances in biotechnology – cloning and stem cell technologies - have changed the world in terms of attitudes towards what we think is scientifically possible, and arguments about how far we think science and medicine should go. With such advances, came the reminder that science and technology do not stand still and that advances in such areas often move faster than the legal world can keep pace. This paper aims to consider the scientific and legal positions of Australia one year after the passing of Federal legislation on research on human embryos, and cloning.
