Reply #23: Your poll is misleading!! [View All]

What really matters to many couple is the following.
When women's eggs are too old or not good, a couple can use egg donor. In addition, donor's DNA in her egg can be replaced by 'mother''s DNA so that mother can use donor egg with her own DNA.

This is the only 'techinical cloning' available at least experimentally right now. And this is exactly Fundies are targeting to ban.

Unless you are 'mad scientist', majority of people don't see the point of 'cloning' as it tend to be described in SciFi.

However, that tend to mislead the real issue. Can a mother allowed to put her DNA into donor's egg. This also enable older woman to have her genetically own baby. Men can have his genetically connected off-spring even he is in 70's and 80's. Women, on the other hand, face difficalty having her genetically connected baby after 40 something.
Most of healthy middle-aged women have an ability to carry their babies to full term.

Please confuse people who knows nothing about reproductive technology. We are not talking about SciFi or mad scientist desire to recreate. The real issue is to extend an option in reproductive technology.
