| Professor Zavos and his supporters of cloning feel that with the careful continuation of research, the technological benefits of cloning clearly outweigh the possible social consequences. In their minds, final products of cloning, like farm animals, and laboratory mice will not be the most important achievement. The applications of cloning they envision are not nightmarish and inhumane, but will improve the overall quality of science and life. Cloning will help to produce discoveries that will affect the study of genetics, cell development, human growth, and obstetrics. Human cloning is not the issue, it is merely a threat to the continuation of cloning research. From the reproductive point of view, in in-vitro fertilization (IVF), a doctor often implants many fertilized ova (embryos) into a woman's uterus and counts on one resulting in pregnancy. However, some women can only supply one egg. |  |
