Here is a little news blub from one of my nursing journals… 
*HUMAN CLONING UNDER WAY IN BRITAIN.
The creator of Dolly the sheep has been given the green light to clone human embryos for medical research. Ian Wilmut, head of the Department of Gene Expression and Development at the Roslin Institute near Edinburgh, Scotland, will clone embryos of patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in order to derive stem cells, and will go on to destroy the cloned embryos within 14 days of their creation. Wilmut is the second scientist after Alison Murdoch of the University of Newcastle0 to receive the British government’s authorization to clone an embryo.
In South Korea and China, reseachers have already derived stem cells from cloned embryos. In the United States, using federal money for human cloning is illegal, although some researchers are planning to use private or state funding to do so.***
This is an ominous beginning of terrible abuses, IMO.
