Just want to add one more dimension to this discussion.
Science fiction has been mentioned as have nightmares and I want to point out that what the world believed was science fiction was, in fact, a living breathing creature. It had been for seven months before anybody knew that man had become creator of animal life. This was Dolly the sheep and by the time we knew about her she was old news in the cloning world - it makes me wonder what else has been around for seven months or even longer that we have no idea of. How can we have an informed view when we don't have the information?

Wow! Another excellent point to ponder Carrie!!!! Does makes you wonder what's going on "behind the scenes!"

Our House of Lords has just allowed the cloning of human embryos for research - it will take nine months for this law to grant license for companies to go ahead but....
It was expected the House of Lords would block this.
This now means that the research can go ahead on "spare" embryos from IVF treatment.
Are we talking people here - or spare babies - or just a few spare cells?
I don't know!
Sorry - I realise that this is not a PET topic - it just is very related.
Should we stop this subject here? Is it more suited to other sites or are you interested?
I feel a little uncomfortable putting it here as I don't think this is what this site is for - but I am happy to go on discussing it if others are. Karen and Paul, what do you think?
