United Nations Commission on Human Rights has included a call for banning human cloning worldwide as part of its first set of international guidelines on bioethics and the human genome. Eibert, a passionate cloning advocate, recently persuaded Northern California's 2,600 member chapter of Resolve, the largest of its national network of support groups for infertile people, to officially endorse cloning once it's perfected as a legitimate option for treating infertility. The same might be said of cloning's implications for same sex reproduction. Heterosexuality's monopoly on reproduction is now obsolete.
Stem cells exist only briefly after an egg is fertilized.
After twenty have developed within the egg a process of differentiation commences transforming nearly all of them into 210 different types of human cells which become irreversibly committed to their fates as specialized components of body tissue. Nearly all mature cells lose most of their ability to grow and divide. There are a few exceptions, some like skin and intestinal lining cells can be cultured and divide about fifty times before dying. The possible medical benefits of stem cell cultivation and manipulation are almost incomprehensible. A cure for many degenerative diseases, including AIDS, is now feasible.
