The report recommended the prohibition be removed to allow the cloning of human embryos for medical research reasons as long as they are destroyed in the first 14 days, according to The Washington Post. The administration of Prime Minister Tony Blair has endorsed the recommendation and intends to draft legislation to implement it, The Post reported. A vote in the House of Commons and House of Lords is expected this fall, according to the report. If it passes, Britain apparently will be the first country to permit explicitly the cloning of human embryos, The Post reported. That is, every embryo has a government-mandated death sentence.
Scientists become executioners.
In fact, early human embryos should be protected and not destroyed in research. They have at least a right not to be unnecessarily harmed. Britain is treading on immoral territory and ought to be told as much. The blood of the innocent cries out from the earth. We ought to cry out too.
