Position Statement of the IETSThe International Embryo Transfer Society (IETS) encourages and strongly supports freedom to conduct research on animal "cloning" by somatic cell nuclear transfer and related techniques using embryonic, fetal, and adult animal cells. The IETS believes that such research will provide avenues to improved understanding of the genetic regulation of development and should ultimately result in improved health, welfare, and reproductive efficiency of animals.The
