Is cloning a human being within reach? Suddenly, the possibility of a creating a human being whose genetic material is identical to a living being is no longer strictly science fiction. Since the "Dolly" breakthrough (1996), multiple attempts have been launched by scientists to apply the animal cloning technology to the human species. Assuming that one day, perhaps sooner than we expect, making an exact genetic duplicate will be possible, here are some of the questions that might arise:. You really know ...

The same technique as cloning is used in stem cell therapy. Some call it therapeutic cloning versus reproductive cloning. Here, rather than duplicating a whole human being, a patient's diseased cells or organ are replaced by stem cells from a donor — cells that are programmed to develop into, say, bone marrow or brain cells. Some of the controversies surrounding stem cell therapy are:. Since it's the same technique — will therapeutic cloning lead, eventually, to reproductive cloning? Too Old to be a Mom?

We can now reliably determine the sex of an embryo while still in the dish and help parents have a boy or a girl, as they please. Is that right or wrong? Science interfering with nature/God? Last I checked, gender was not a disease. And I thought that's what the technique was meant to accomplish — prevent a disease, not a girl. So sex selection is a sexism issue, right? The first ever sex selection was by Pharoah against Jewish males! And what do they do with the embryos of the unfavorable gender?

Today I plead before you. I know I don't count for much. I'm just a tiny embryo. The size of a dot of dust. But how do you,. How do you operate, with a brain and a heart? All I ask for, is to be given the same chance you had. To grow up to be someone who makes a difference. Just because you can read my genome,. Don't throw me away if it doesn't look perfect. How would you like if they did that to you? Would you have made it out of the Petri dish? Tell my parents to resist technology. A new poem, a book,.
