I agree 100%...and it is so sad. With embryo cloning, we would be able to grow replacement organs for patients in need (ex. Heart, liver, kidneys, etc.). Cloning could contribute so much to society, but at the same time would be badly abused, and the whole killing a baby(embryo) thing would never end. I think the government should legalize embryo cloning, but human cloning is a toughy... |
