  Panos Zavos - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Panagiotis Zavos[1] (Παναγιώτης Ζαβός, or Panos Zavos, Πάνος Ζαβός) is a Greek-Cypriot geneticist from Cyprus.
Zavos [2] declared the year 2002 as "the year of human clones" [3] and [4].
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.

Panos Zavos is in the headlines again--this time claiming to have successfully implanted a cloned human embryo into a woman's womb.
Zavos and Antinori were once involved in a joint effort to produce the first successful human clone, though that partnership ended in an acrimonious split.
Zavos has steadfastly defended his experiments in human cloning by claiming, "I am simply doing this to help my patients and to give them the child that they long for." Zavos has not explained why his previous announcement was not followed by the presentation of a successfully cloned human child.

Panagiotis Zavos (Παναγιώτης Ζαβός, or Panos Zavos, Πάνος Ζαβός) is a Greek-Cypriot geneticist from Cyprus.
In 2002 Spyros Simitis, the brother of Costas Simitis, characterised Zavos' claims as "scientific barbarism".
It is this kind of rhetoric that people like Simitis and many others that they use to attack Professor Zavos which makes it sad when people do not know what they are talking about and they rather "blow nothing but hot air".

 Scotland on Sunday - Top Stories - Fury at first human clone bid   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
The US-based fertility expert, Panos Zavos, stunned an audience in London when he revealed he had taken an egg from a 35-year-old woman, inserted her husband’s genetic material, and placed the embryo in her womb.
Zavos has also not produced any incontrovertible evidence, but it is thought he may well have the technical ability required.
Before announcing the implantation, Zavos had used the press conference to promote embryo splitting, the creation of two identical IVF twins of which one would be used as a source of spare body parts for the other.

ZAVOS:  Good morning, everyone.  It gives me a great privilege to be among you and with you this morning, and I am going to argue in favor of reproductive cloning or reproductive regeneration, as otherwise known.
ZAVOS:  Obviously, we are in the business of helping infertility couples to have biological children of their own, be it reproductive cloning or reproductive regeneration.
ZAVOS:  Well, we can argue here as to who came first, the chicken or the egg.  When we talk about reproductive cloning, we promote and we allow that embryo that is produced to go to full fruition and yield a viable child, healthy child.

Greek-Cypriot-born scientist Panos Zavos has expressed determination to proceed with human cloning efforts, saying production of cloned embryos could come sometime within the next two months, although actual implantation was still down the road.
Zavos, a naturalised US citizen, and his Italian colleague, Severino Antinori, have announced plans to eventually impregnate up to 200 women with cloned embryos.
Zavos, meanwhile, drew comparisons between human cloning and the accepted practice of in vitro fertilisation (IVF), predicting cloning would have a similar 30 to 40% success rate and that it would also be "made to be safe".

ZAVOS: Well, on the basis on what I've seen so far, Paula, it's very difficult for me to believe that, and of course, as we all know, it's nothing to confirm the birth, a picture, scientific documentation, a physical test of any sort.

And even if Zavos cannot clone Mosteshar, providing her with the child she so desperately wants, the 47-year-old is volunteering herself as a guinea pig to help progress cloning technology.
When Mosteshar saw Zavos on television last week, claiming that he had implanted the first cloned embryo into a 35-year-old woman, she decided to get in touch, to congratulate him and offer her assistance, in any way she could.
Zavos is expected to disclose early this week whether the cloned embryo he claims to have already implanted in a 35-year-old woman's womb has survived.

Panos Zavos, el polémico científico estadounidense famoso por sus experimentos en clonación humana, anunció el fracaso de su primer intento.
Zavos afirmaba ser el primero en implantar con éxito un embrión obtenido a partir de un óvulo inmaduro de una mujer infértil de 35 años de edad, y de una célula cutánea de su esposo.
Según Zavos, hay una posibilidad del 30% de que un embrión clonado se desarrolle adecuadamente, pero el científico ha prometido que "con éxito o sin él, vamos intentarlo una y otra y otra vez hasta que lo logremos".

As with animal cloning, he said, the technology would involve injecting genetic material from the father into the mother's egg, which would then be implanted in her womb.

Maybe this is a piece of advice Panos Zavos, a Lexington scientist and former UK professor of animal sciences, should have adhered to when defending his ideas on cloning.
Zavos has made a name for himself recently in the news by joining a reproductive specialist from Italy in the quest to perform human cloning.
Also in 1994, the Herald-Leader reported that Zavos was fired from Central Baptist Hospital because of evidence that suggested he performed fertility services there and had patients pay him directly rather than the hospital.

NARRATOR: Dr Zavos is not a cloning expert, but at his fertility clinic in Kentucky he already makes a living from making babies and at $50,000 a try, cloning will be a lucrative business.
PANAYIOTIS ZAVOS:...Dr Zavos has been producing children for the last 25 years and not one single baby, abnormal baby was born ever and we don't intend to have one single child ever be born from such an effort, ever.
NARRATOR: Dr Zavos couldn't be interviewed by Horizon because he's tied in to a broadcasting contract elsewhere, but he claims that if the embryo has normal-looking methyl molecules on its growth genes he will assume it's healthy.

 Comments
In what many will regard as a grotesque experiment, maverick American scientist Dr Panos Zavos will announce that he has taken DNA from two corpses and used it to create embryonic clones of the dead people.
Zavos says he has taken DNA from an 11-year-old girl called Cady and a 33-year-old man, both of whom died in road accidents, and implanted it into living eggs that subsequently divided in the laboratory to form embryos.
Zavos says he would never consider putting the resulting hybrid embryos into a human womb, nor could they survive anyway.

Earlier this year Zavos claimed to have implanted a cloned human embryo in a woman's womb.
Zavos, who is also professor emeritus of reproductive physiology-andrology at the University of Kentucky, says he will describe the cloning in London on Tuesday.
He claims his technique could be used to implant DNA from a corpse into a human egg, creating an embryo that, if implanted into a womb, could develop into a true clone of the dead person.
