Cloning – both morally wrong and redundant to boot!

"The Lockhart Committee has presented the Federal Government with a brutal proposal to “clone and kill” embryonic humans on the altar of speculative science. Here is the dual desecration of cloning: not just that a human life is wrongfully killed for the benefit of others, but that a human life is wrongfully created out of any normal human setting. he public should be shown the true shape of stem cell science, which is thriving with no need for embryo creation and destruction. We must say “no” to the cloning and killing of dehumanised offspring proposed by the Lockhart Committee, and “yes” to the clinically magnificent and ethically innocent field of adult stem cell science."
