18. Does everyone understand at what level you support or oppose?
I don't support 'pure human' cloning.
However, the following case I will support whole heartedly!!

When woman cannot use her own egg to have a baby, she has to use a egg donor. Reproductive technology can swith genetic code from donor and put mother's genetic code in near future. This I definitely support. Men can have his own kids even he is rather old. However, woman's egg deteriorate very rapidly after age of about 35. Many woman want to have her baby in 40's and realize she can only do so with egg donor. ( So the baby is not genetically hers.) If the above DNA replacement is allowed, many healthy women in 40's can have her first baby even after her own eggs are too old.

Now, do you support the above case or not? This is technically called cloning. Fundies are very against it.
