Even if this doctor's claims are true, there are no ethical, moral, or moral questions that I can see here.

Should we clone humans? Well, we'd better not ban it in America, because someone else will do it somewhere else. Honestly, I think the benefits will outweigh the risks.

Do cloned humans have souls? What kind of question is that? Is the clone of a human not a human? Of course they have souls. [img]graemlins/dontknowaboutyou.gif[/img]

Are some people going to "pervert" cloning to create particular traits such as hair color or intelligence? The complex interaction of genetic sequences make such exact fine-tuning of human traits impossible; at best, it would be 50 years in the future before anything like that would be possible for even the simplest traits.

I say continue with cloning research. Push the boundaries of human knowledge! [img]graemlins/awesomework.gif[/img]
