'Give stem cells to ill patients'
Stem cells could be used to treat a number of human diseases
The scientist behind the cloning of Dolly the Sheep is calling for stem cell treatment to be offered to people with terminal illnesses.
Professor Ian Wilmut told The Scotsman that the treatment, which had not been fully tested, could save lives or at least speed up the pace of research.
He said he knew patients prepared to take part in such trials.
"If we wait until things are totally tested and analysed in animals, it will deny some people treatment," he said.
