Nov. 30 (Bloomberg) -- Scientists will be allowed to create human embryo clones for medical research if the Australian government passes news laws, being debated today, to lift a four-year ban. The Australian lower house is debating a proposal to legalize the creation of human embryos through so-called somatic cell nuclear transfer to aid research into diseases including Parkinson's and multiple sclerosis. The debate is expected to take four days, double the time the House of Representatives discussed the annual budget and Telstra Corp.'s privatization.
