Lord Winston Cloning Babies
Wednesday 21 March 2001 Lord Robert Winston gives Harwell Lecture Entitled "Scrambled Eggs"
The Harwell Lecture 21st March 2001
"Scrambled Eggs" Lord Robert Winston, Professor of Fertility Studies, Imperial School of Medicine, London University. Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist, Hammersmith Hospital, London.
Lord Winston needs little introduction, as, due to his award winning series of programs on BBC television, he is probably the best known scientist in the UK today. His programs include "Your Life in Their Hands", "Making Babies", "The Human Body", "Secret Life of Twins" and "The Superhuman".
Lord Winston and his research team have contributed greatly to the world of Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART). Some recent major achievements include the birth of the first baby after DNA testing to avoid sex-linked disease (e.g. muscular dystrophy, haemophilia), the first babies born after identification to avoid single gene defects (e.g. cystic fibrosis) and the first babies born after screening preimplantation embryos for chromosome defects.
