Research the pros and cons of cloning. Follow the links below to find information on scientific and moral arguments for and against cloning.

Scientific information on cloning:

The Gene School has information on some of the reasons people are in favor of cloning: Common Reasons People Support Cloning, Present Benefits of Cloning, Cloning Legislation, and Who stands to benefit from cloning?

Visit the site for The Roslin Institute, the research lab that made Dolly:
There is a page with a list of applications for cloning in medicine and an article that asks If scientists continue cloning research, won't it result in loss of genetic diversity?

Britain's "New Scientist Magazine" did a special report on cloning. Among the articles are: Superhuman (genetic influence over the development of embryos), What makes a human? (experiments that mix human genetic information with that of other animals), We can rebuild . . . and Organs without donors (technology to "grow" replacement body parts). There are also links to still more articles.

Moral issues related to cloning:

Sponsored by Religious Tolerance, an article called Ethical Aspects of Human Cloning discusses many arguments for and against human cloning, and asks "Is cloning moral?"

The Church of Scotland hosts a "Science, Religion and Technology" series on their Web site that discusses the moral, social, psychological and religious implications of cloning. Articles include:
The main SRT Cloning page, Should we clone Humans? Should we clone animals? and Cloning–How Should Society Decide?
