	Ian Wilmut - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ian Wilmut (born July 7, 1944) is an English embryologist and currently leading the Research Institute for Medical Cell Biology at the University of Edinburgh.
		Wilmut was born in Hampton Lucey (near Warwick) in England.
		Wilmut was awarded a Ph.D. in 1971; his subsequent research in Cambridge led to the birth of the first calf from a frozen embryo — "Frosty" — in 1973.

	Edge: Ian Wilmut
		IAN WILMUT, professor and Head of the Department of Gene Expression and Development at the Roslin Institute near Edinburgh, Scotland, is uniquely qualified both as a pioneer in the science of cloning and as a participant in the public discussions of its possible social and ethical consequences.
		Dr. Wilmut's own research centers on the cloning of human embryos to provide stem cells for treatment of degenerative disorders such as diabetes and Parkinson's disease.
		He has been a frequent advocate of the medical benefits to be derived from this new technology, giving many public lectures on the subject and participating in numerous panel discussions on the potential uses and misuses of cloning.

	Ian Wilmut: For Scientist, Secrecy Gives Way to Spotlight
		Wilmut said secrecy was necessary to await the first successful birth of a lamb.
		Wilmut, who was born in Hampton Lucey, England, near Warwick, was seduced into embryology as an undergraduate at the University of Nottingham, where his mentor was G. Eric Lamming, a world famous expert in the science of reproduction.
		Wilmut, whose house overlooks green fields and grazing, uncloned animals, said that as he looks to the future now, his primary objective is to drive his project forward "to enable us to study genetic diseases for which there are presently no cures."

		As a boy, Wilmut hoped to become a farmer; this aspiration later grew into an interest in animal husbandry and a fascination with the seemingly miraculous progression from embryo to complex being.
		Wilmut was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in Edinburgh, was made a member of the Order of British Empire, and was awarded the Research Medal of the Royal Agricultural Society of England.
		Wilmut argues: “In making a copy of oneself or some famous person, a parent is deliberately specifying the way he or she wishes that child to develop.” How is this different from the hopes and aspirations that parents have for their non-cloned children?

		Although his is not yet a household name, Ian Wilmut has played a central role in developing cloning, the reproductive technology now dominating the headlines.
		Wilmut had his first success with reproductive technology in 1973, when he created Frostie, the first calf ever produced from a frozen embryo.
		Wilmut's hope is that the cloning process will not be used to reproduce humans but to create two different kinds of animals: those that can manufacture donor organs for humans in need of transplants and those that can mimic human genetic defects for testing purposes.

		As UK scientist Ian Wilmut received Germany's top medical research award Monday in Frankfurt, more than two dozen protestors gathered outside the ceremony was held to voice disapproval, asserting that Wilmut's cloning research would be illegal in Germany.
		Wilmut, whose groundbreaking research at Scotland's Roslin Institute led to the birth of Dolly the sheep, the world's first cloned mammal, was also the target of headline-generating criticism from politicians, church groups, a major medical organization and even, indirectly, Germany's leading research funding organization, the German Research Foundation (DFG).
		Wilmut's critics in Germany said such research would be illegal in their country, noting that nearly half the €100,000 prize money came from the federal government.

		It took Wilmut a few brief years to move from being an implacable foe of reproductive cloning to approving of it in some cases.
		As Wilmut's ever-loosening ethical standards demonstrate, attempting to be partially for human cloning and partially against it creates an inherent intellectual instability which cannot long be maintained.

		Ian believes the solution to how cloning should be controlled lies in regulating the ways in which it is applied and the species it is applied to, rather than regulating the actual technology itself.

	Amazon.com: After Dolly: The Uses and Misuses of Human Cloning: Books: Ian Wilmut,Roger Highfield (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Wilmut has necessarily become an advisor on the ethics of cloning and embryo research, and while there will be many who disagree with his utilitarian views set down in his book, they do represent a thoughtful scientific opinion of where cloning and embryo procedures ought and ought not to be used.
		Wilmut makes clear that Dolly was not the first clone, but the first mammalian clone produced from DNA derived from a differentiated adult cell; he gives a history of pre-Dolly cloning.
		Wilmut comes across in the book as being a very practical, patient, and humble man, and one who is definitely fed up with the public outcries and misrepresentations of biological science in today's newspapers and magazines.

	BBC NEWS \| Health \| Cloning 'could beat gene disease'
		Professor Ian Wilmut argues in a new book that cloning a 100-cell IVF embryo is not the same as cloning a human.
		Professor Wilmut describes how it would be possible to take an embryo affected by an hereditary disease and then remove its stem cells and modify the genetic fault which, left unchecked, would cause a condition such as Huntington's disease or cystic fibrosis.
		Professor Wilmut says many moral, ethical and practical questions would be raised by the use of the technique, as well as arguments over where to "draw the line between eradicating the disease and enhancing a child".

	Scientists dispute credit for Dolly \| The Guardian \| Guardian Unlimited
		The debate was ignited by an admission this week from Professor Ian Wilmut - the scientist widely credited for the research - that he did not create the animal after all.
		The work was published in Nature in 1997 and rapidly made Prof Wilmut, who led the research group at the Roslin Institute, one of the most high-profile scientists in the world.
		At the tribunal, in which one of Prof Wilmut's colleagues, Prim Singh, alleges bullying, the scientist said he did not play a trivial role in the project to clone Dolly and coordinated the work, but added that 66% of the credit should go to Professor Keith Campbell, a co-author on the 1997 paper.
