...cloner beware. Genetically reproducing a pet is not cheap. "The ones we do in the next year are going to cost five figures," says Hawthorne. Only later, when the procedures get streamlined, will costs drop. There are also technical problems. The Texas lab's 1-in-87 success rate is typical of cloning work, which can produce dozens of dead embryos for every living...
...their view, cloning allows you to hedge your bet. While grieving parents may be confused about the technology?cloning, even if it works, is not resurrection?their motives are their own business. As for infertile couples, "we are interested in giving people the gift of life," Zavos, the aspiring cloner, tells TIME. "Ethics is a wonderful word, but we need to look beyond the ethical issues here. It's not an ethical issue. It's a medical issue. We have a duty here. Some people need this to complete the life cycle, to reproduce...
...fact, the risks involved with cloning mammals are so great that Wilmut, the premier cloner, calls it "criminally irresponsible" for scientists to be experimenting on humans today. Even after four years of practice with animal cloning, the failure rate is still overwhelming: 98% of embryos never implant or die off during gestation or soon after birth. Animals that survive can be nearly twice as big at birth as is normal, or have extra-large organs or heart trouble or poor immune systems. Dolly's "mother" was six years old when she was cloned. That may explain why Dolly's cells...
