The Bahamas stands alone in being a unique country that has written laws and has made SCNT legal.
Nygard later spoke of his planned clinic in The Bahamas, which will include somatic cell nuclear transfer SCNT technology and will be free of political restriction. SCNT is a technique used in cloning cells.

Canadian fashion mogul Nygard puts his faith in stem-cell science
Boasts about his personal transformation are no less provocative. He has poured his money and his DNA into an effort to reproduce his own embryonic stem cells in a lab. He has been taking stem-cell injections four times a year.
"This is huge. This is a game-changer. This could eliminate all disease. This is perhaps immortality," he said in the video.
The line of research, somatic-cell nuclear transfer, or SCNT, avoids some of the religious and ethical concerns of most embryonic stem-cell research because it doesn't require a pregnancy to harvest cells. But the method remains hugely controversial and illegal in much of the world, because it's considered a form of cloning.
That hasn't stopped Mr. Nygard. "I maybe be the only person in the world who has my own embryonic stem cells growing in a petri dish," he adds, before the video cuts to a series of scenes showing him dancing with models, playing volleyball and jet-setting around the world – all underscoring his youthful verve and what the Encyclopedia of Manitoba has termed his "hedonistic celebrity." He also flexes his ample biceps and shows off six-pack abdominals developed since he started stem-cell therapy.
"I'm a living testimonial that this really works," he said.
