Come on, life for those who are suffering and ill, or "saving" a "life" the size of a pinhead.
Cloning is the future. It is going to happen eventually. In fact, I want to clone myself.

The human embryo is not, as the proponents of embryonic stem cell research assume, "a bundle of cells" or an "undifferentiated mass of cells." Rather, the human embryo is an actual, self-integrating, unified individual being, endowed with human nature and as such is the proper bearer of fundamental human rights. It is a potential newborn or adult, but as real a human individual as any other human. To extract its stem cells is to destroy directly an innocent human life and to sacrifice that life for medical research. Support for this activity places a purely instrumental value on these human individuals who are equal in dignity to any other human being.

It's worth reading  It's a purely scientific standpoint. It's an ethical issue, not a religious one. |
