One need only look at the cloning experiments already being conducted in animals to realize that human therapeutic cloning will not long be contained to using early cloned embryos in Petri dishes. This published paper by the biotechnologists at Advance Cell Technology involved “therapeutic cloning” with cows. Only they used stem cells taken from the liver of an aborted cloned fetus, not stem cells from an embryo. The paper also states better results are expected from a full liver transplant. Such experiments in humans have already been explicitly legalized in New Jersey. I may write more on this later.
