Oregon's stem cell cloning achievement
has triggered some discussion about whether it could be replicated
legally in California, which bans paying for eggs as was done in
Oregon.<\/p>

<\/div>
Stanford<\/b> researcher Irv Weissman<\/b> said
it is “not true” that Oregon's stem cell research would be
illegal in California. Leftovers from IVF clinics could be used, he said.<\/div>
<\/div>
But in response Oregon researcher
Shoukhrat Mitalipov<\/b> said that “SCNT (the process he used) did not
work with discarded human eggs.”<\/div>
<\/div>
He added,<\/div>

 “SCNT worked with eggs from
healthy young volunteers (paid of course). IVF patients (whether paid
or not) have reproductive health problems and may not provide
acceptable quality eggs for SCNT.” <\/p><\/blockquote>

Their comments came in emails to the
California Stem Cell Report<\/b> in connection with yesterday's item that said because the Oregon researchers used paid donors for eggs, the research would be illegal in the Golden State. <\/a><\/div>
<\/div>
Weissman said,<\/div>

 \"Not true. They did
it with nearly 40 percent efficiency, which does not require paying
for eggs, just use leftovers from IVF clinics.\"<\/p><\/blockquote>

There is no question that it is illegal
to pay donors for their eggs in California. The question is whether
the research could be done properly without using paid donors. In recent
years, researchers at Harvard and elsewhere have said they needed paid donors for stem cell research<\/a> to properly perform their research
and could not find them without providing compensation.<\/div>
