my view exactly Valkyrie!! When I heard that the vet. school at Texas A&M started cloning animals last year I was appalled-I knew it was going to happen sooner or later though.
There are so many children in this world that need adoption-we need to be thinking about this instead of always feeling the need to pass on our own genes.
That said I am for stem cell research. I do believe we can have one without the other.

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.
