Well, I guess I'll add my two cents, and after this I won't say anything else.

We discussed this in my History Class today, and one of my classmates came up with a very good point. First, they are thinking of using this embryo to grow new cells and organs, right?

Well, you have to kill it to get at these cells, do you not?

This is not an animal embryo or anything of the sort (Even though animals do have rights): this is a living human being, or the beginning of one rather, just like you and I. We all started out as embryos, just like this one.

No one has the right to take your life away, even if you can save 27,000 people with your life. YOU are the only one that has the choice to take your life for that purpose. This embryo has no say in whether it gets to live its life or die for the benefit and life of others. No one has the right to take your life without your consent... not a scientist, not a doctor, not your parent, not the government. That's what I'm saying on the subject of this embryo idea.

On the subject of actually cloning a person and letting it live, I totally agree with Dragadon. It's the same concept as these new fertility drugs and "test-tube babies": it defeats the order of natural selection - leads to overpopulation: leads to destruction of mankind. Plus, a scientist is suddenly playing God: a big moral no-no to me.

Alright, there's my personal opinion. It's not meant to offend anyone else's or anything, that's just how I feel on the subject. Now I'm gonna get outta here. Ciao.
