Blog 15 cloning
















It is a disturbing thought to think aborted babies are used for cloning research, I'm not sure this is morally correct because it could be done with adult tissue, adults who could give their consent to such things in a similar way as the Donner card. Research suggests supporters of the research believe it is necessary to find ways of regenerating tissues such as nerves, muscle and cartilage to treat the elderly and disabled. But anti-abortion campaigners believe equally effective treatments could be developed using adult cells. Are we entering territory which we don't fully understand, may we later regret this research, will someone somewhere one day develop a clone human with devastating consequences.
