FDA Regulation of Cloning

This is a fabulously detailed and interesting article, which accomplishes much of what we are interested in doing with this very blog!
If you are interested in a much more in depth look at the history of FDA involvement in the technology of cloning (and especially human cloning), take a look at this article, published in the Harvard Journal of Law and Technology. The article is too long to go into detail about it here, but it is worth perusing if you are interested in that aspect of the development of cloning technologies.
The article first looks at the definitions and history of cloning, the development of increasingly sophisticated technologies and techniques, and then the FDA's claim to regulation over cloning, which was very much de facto. It goes on the examine the legitimacy of the FDA's claim and the issues surrounding its asserted jurisdiction.
I highly recommend it.
