Britain's leading scientific institution  said Monday it is urging countries to back a campaign to stop a  possible ban on stem cell research as part of a global treaty  banning human cloning. The London-based Royal Society is  stepping up its drive to push the United Nations to ban the  cloning of babies, but to make no ruling on using the  technology for medical research, or therapeutic cloning, at its  59th General Session in October. The 191-nation U.N. General  Assembly is divided over whether to allow therapeutic cloning  to continue or to adopt a broad cloning ban championed by the  Bush administration and Costa Rica with strong backing from the  U.S. anti-abortion movement and many predominantly Roman  Catholic nations.
