Today, researchers from Oregon have alleged that they have successfully derived embryonic stem cells from a cloned animal. I don't understand how people can see this as okay? Nothing, whether human or animal, should be cloned only to be used for its cells. It should be the choice of the animal--and I agree it's hard for an animal to give consent--and the human if under 18 to give medical practitoners permission to use his or her cells. It's on only fair.
If confirmed, this would be a world first time we have been able to successfully use cells from clones. This could also potentially lead to the creation of human embryonic stem cells through cloning, which would really give the relgious sect and other human rights activists something to complain about. Though I am a supporter of willingly donating stem cells for research, I am strongly against creating clones to aid the lives of those already in existence. That's disgusting and inhumane.
