Life, a UK anti-abortion group, has called for a boycott of Sainsbury supermarkets in the UK after comments supporting research into human therapeutic cloning made by Lord David Sainsbury, former chiarman of the supermarket group. Sainsbury, now the UK's minister for science, was speaking at a fringe meeting at the Labour party's annual conference at which the topic had been raised in a presentation by Simon Best of Geron Biomed (Roslin, Scotland).
