After failed attempts of reproducing the natural way, the couple tried artificial insemination and in vitro fertilization. Nearly four years after their last unsuccessful attempt in 1998, the couple read an article on Zavos and his cloning experiments.

I am not a scientist by any means, so I can't make a scientific argument here. However, I can say that as described in this article, I am completely against cloning. Bill and Kathy have tried to reproduce for 5 years and it hasn't worked. Maybe there is a biological reason why they haven't been able to do it, and they should just leave it at that. Although I don't personally desire children and therefore don't necessarily understand where they're coming from, I don't understand why they can't just accept the fact that they are not going to have a biological child and look into adoption. If you really want kids, I just don't see how the biology of it is so important that one would go to such extremes when there are children available for adoption.
For the record, I am also against the cloning of animals.
