Scientists have succeeded in cloning animals. Some are boasting that a human will be cloned within the year. In fact, there is speculation that a woman may be pregnant now with a cloned embryo. Critics of cloning say this opens the way for cloning human twins who would be created for spare parts, thus opening the door for research on humans. They also say that cloning may never be safe. Most cloned experiments die and those that survive are exceedingly overweight and beset with problems. Will cloning ever be safe? Will it ever be ethical?
