1. Also, a National Bioethics Advisory Commission recommended that scientists be allowed to continue to research cloning techniques, they be prohibited from cloning human babies. 2. At the same time, he said, society should not lose the opportunity to develop new medical treatments based on cloning techniques. 3. At the same time, he said, society should not lose the opportunity to develop new treatments based on cloning techniques. 4. Advanced Cell Technology hopes to avoid such rejection by using cloning techniques to generate tissue with the same genetic makeup as the patient. 5. But he said that the overall aim of using cloning techniques to create transplantable organs is ethically justifiable. 6. But there is some hope that similar cloning techniques may help save endangered wild cats or replicate socially valuable animals like search-and-rescue dogs. 7. By preventing cloning research, opponents are preventing the development of new treatments that draw upon cloning techniques, and hence are allowing many people to suffer unnecessarily. 8. Cloning techniques have yet to be fine-tuned and the risk of conceiving deformed children is too great. 9. Even most scientists who believe fervently in the value of cloning for research purposes consider cloning techniques far too primitive and risky to use for human reproduction. 10. George and Charlie, being bulls, are mainly proof that the new cloning technique works. |
