 | | Were therapeutic cloning to emerge as the most promising line of therapy, Capron says he would reconsider his opposition. | | | Stem-cell therapy also requires that embryonic stem cells be taught to behave correctly -- to reach the proper part of the body and assume the proper, mature form. | | | "Anyone who would says that the chance to save a life through therapeutic cloning is wrong, would have to explain why they have not been upset by the practices that go on under IVF, which is basically the same thing." |

| | This bill is carefully worded so that human reproductive cloning would clearly be banned while the development of therapies for millions of Americans would be allowed to continue. | | | Harold Varmus, the former head of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and a Nobel laureate, says there is a profound distinction between cloning with the intent to make a human being, and research cloning to help understand and treat life-threatening diseases and conditions. | | | In other words, SCNT could allow patients to be cured using their own DNA. |

| | For cloning's advocates, this is an opportunity to remake mankind in an image of health, prosperity, and nobility; it is the ultimate expression of man's unlimited potential. | | | Nonetheless, it is a new human life and the determination to destroy it and limit its use to scientific research for therapeutic ends compound further the moral issues rather than protect mankind. | | | For the latter reason alone, many medical ethicists consider it to be a profoundly immoral procedure when done on humans. |

| | So, leaving the dignity argument against cloning aside, we would like to invite you on a journey through the moral maze of human cloning research, both of the therapeutic and reproductive nature. | | | Even here, though, there is a connection to reproductive cloning, in that any of the techniques that will be needed to establish reproductive (and mitochrondrial disease therapeutic cloning) we will need to pass through a phase of embryo research, including probably the creation of embryos specifically for research. | | | As soon as a clone (or any other human being) has achieved personhood, it deserves the same respect as any other being with those dispositional capacity. |
