Each scientist on the team has specific expertise, prominence, and experience that may make it happen. Background Information Human cloning would require the same technology that created Dolly, the sheep, by taking DNA from the single adult cell and injecting it into an egg. Cloning is the kind of issue so confounding that you envy the purists at either end of the argument. But for the scientist to do mechanically what God does naturally is to interfere with his work, and no possible benefit can justify that presumption. On the other end of the argument are the libertarians who don't like politicians, clerics, or ethics boards interfering with what they believe should be purely individual decisions.
Reproduction is a most fateful lottery.
In their view, cloning allows you to hedge your bets. While grieving parents may be confused about the technology, cloning, even if it works, is not resurrection. Their motives are their own business. In the messy middle are the vast majority of people, who view the prospect with a vague alarm, an uneasy sense that science is dragging us into dark woods with no paths and no easy way to turn back. Ian Wilmut, the scientist who cloned Dolly but has come out publicly against human cloning, was not trying to help sheep have genetically related children.
