Zavos works with the Italian infertility expert Severino Antinori, who was recently expelled from the International Association of Private Assisted Reproductive Technology[?] (APART) for his well-publicized wish to be the first to clone a human.
Zavos and Antinori also say that the many of the developmental problems in animals were due to non-ideal conditions in which the embryos were cultured[?].
Zavos points out that reproductive science is actually more advanced in humans due to the widespread use of treatments such as in vitro fertilisation (IVF), and therefore cloning in humans is not such a large step as animal cloning was.

Zavos notes that the Biblical injunction is "thou shall not kill" rather than "though shall not clone", and that the Bible does not explain or specify how humans should reproduce.
According to Zavos, cloning can help a small percentage of childless couples to have biological children of their own "if they have exausted all other means of assisted reproduction such as IVF".

An American fertility specialist, Panayiotis Zavos, who arrived in London on Saturday, became the first person to implant a cloned human embryo in a woman's womb.
On May 13 last year, Zavos, who is based in Lexington, Kentucky, said he had obtained a human embryo through cloning and he intended to implant it soon afterwards.
Zavos was previously highly critical of the group Clonaid, which claimed in 2002 to have cloned a human baby.

 Independent Perspective News - First human clone embryo ready for implantation
Zavos says that the frozen human embryo should have been implanted in July, but the surrogate mother developed complications which meant that the attempt had to be postponed.
Zavos says he created the human cloned embryo by fusing an empty human egg with a granulosa cell, an exclusively female cell which nourishes and protects oocytes as they grow in the ovary.
Zavos stresses that once thawed in preparation for implantation, the human embryo will be thoroughly tested for chromosomal and other defects before insertion.

Controversial reproductive scientist Panayiotis Zavos has published a short report and picture of what he claims is "the first human cloned embryo for reproductive purposes".
Zavos likens the criticisms to those made in the 1970s against IVF procedures, which have since led to the birth of a million people.
Zavos first came to public attention when he teamed up with the controversial Italian fertility doctor Severino Antinori and proclaimed the duo would clone a child by the end of 2002.

 Researcher Claims Success In Cloning From The Dead
Panayiotis Zavos, of the Kentucky Center for Reproductive Medicine, Lexington, US, say his team has shown that cells taken from humans after death could be used for cloning.
In the latest work, Zavos claims to have taken live cells from the tissues of three dead people, injected them into cow eggs stripped of their nuclei and then fused them using electrical stimulation.
Zavos used blood and other tissues from an 11-year-old girl who was killed in a car crash.

 Human cloning to go ahead by end of year   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Dr Panayiotis Zavos, a fertility doctor who runs a clinic in the US, announced at a London conference this week, that he was ready to implant a cloned human embryo into a human uterus.
Zavos claims to have cloned the embryo for an American couple, saying that it would be kept frozen until further tests on it had been performed, and that he would only consider implantation of the embryo if he could be certain that it was free from abnormalities and is capable of healthy development.
Zavos said that while he had no plans to implant the hybrid embryos - created by inserting human DNA into cow's eggs - they were 'theoretically viable'.

Zavos claims to have experimented on DNA from three donors: an 18-month-old boy who died after surgery, an 11-year-old girl who was killed in a car crash, and a 33-year-old man who died in a road accident.
Zavos says that he took money from the children's parents to fund his research, but denies that he was exploiting their desperation.
According to Zavos, he fused the donor cells with cow eggs, which are easier to obtain than human eggs, and allowed them to develop for a short period of time.

Panayiotis Zavos told the Lexington Herald-Leader that he has agreed to retire from the school, where he has been a professor of animal sciences in the agriculture department for two decades.
After several news accounts identified Dr. Zavos as a Kentucky faculty member, the university issued a statement clarifying that Dr. Zavos' involvement in cloning was outside his regular university duties, and that the school could not participate in cloning experiments of any kind under regulations banning the use of federal funds for human cloning research.
Dr. Zavos contends that human cloning is inevitable, and that at least one scientific expert has suggested that accidental human clonings already may have occurred during standard in-vitro fertilization procedures.
