Yes. It is not a world first, since this was achieved in other four
countries, but shows that they are rather aggressive in this field.

BTW, speaking of human reproduction, I believe that according to orthodox
muslim views, an embryo gets a soul only between one and three months after
the fecondation took place, so that from abortion to stem cells to embryo
selection to human reproductive cloning no real "religious" problems should
arise...
