Cloning- where there is a way there is a will.
Title:Leading Embryologist intends to produce first human clone

Summary: Professor Severino Antinori, a professor of assisted reproduction and the physician who enabled the 62 year old woman to have a baby in 1994, has spoken up and declared his intention to be the first to create a carbon copy of a living person. Antinori proposes this as a way to allow infertile males, who can not make sperm, to produce a happy family. Needless to say, Italy is probably not the most accepting country to make this announcement and the Vatican has quickly rebutted this declaration with comments such as, ³Nobody should be allowed to do evil for a good end² and ³ a horrible and grotesque act². Not to worry, Antinori is willing to relocate to another more acquiescing domicile for the sake of science and to execute his mission in life to ³push towards truth and not be afraid². Unfortunately, few of these exist, and those countries that have not technically outlawed cloning, like the UK, have safety nets like the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority that functionally disallow any such practice to be implemented. The cloning pioneers of Dolly the Sheep fame, were also opposed to his cloning plans. Dr. Harry Griffin, a scientist at the Roslin Institute, which produced the cloned sheep, said,² Society faces a real ethical dilemna over infertile couples who cannot be helped by any other means, but we still say it would be wrong to replicate an existing human being.² Some support is reported in the scientific community, Peter Brinsden, director of Bourn Hall Clinic, near Cambridge, predicts that limited cloning to help the most infertile couples will ultimately prove acceptable to society. Until then, Antinori joins Richard Seed, the American physicist, who wants to clone himself, and a Raelian religious cult, which has a growing list of people wishing to be cloned.
