| The Australian: Regulators stymie 'human trees' |

A SCHEME by two London artists to take DNA from a dead person and insert it into apple trees to create a living memorial of that individual's "biological essence" has run headlong into problems .... the only known way of doing this is extraordinarily complex and time-consuming (and thus expensive) because the sequence has to go through eight coding steps.

Every single tree will have to be approved by the Advisory Committee on Releases to the Environment (ACRE), a watchdog that vets applications for genetically-modified organisms.
