American fertility expert Professor Panos Zavos is working on a project to clone a baby. The consortium he is part of is headed by controversial Italian fertility expert Dr Severino Antinori, who has come repeatedly under fire for letting post-menopausal women give birth. There is also an American cult which claims to be in the process of creating the first human clone. The Raelians, led by a man known only as Rael, believe cloning is the path to eternal life. We Raelians believe science should be our religion as science saves life where religion and superstition kill.
Cloning gives the un-reborn the right to have a second chance at life.
If Britain bans cloning, it will be the first country in the world to do so. Cloning is not illegal in the US, for example. However, a committee of the House of Representatives in Washington is considering whether there should be a legal bar on the procedure. The Council of Europe has banned cloning, but individual countries of the EU have no specific laws against it. Although the government is moving to ban human reproductive cloning, it is actively encouraging therapeutic cloning.
