On Sunday November 25, 2001 a Massachusetts Cell Technology Firm based in Worcester announced that an elite group of their scientists had begun to make cloned human embryos. This bold statement reverberated through international scientific, religious and legislative circles on Sunday; culminating in words of disapproval from the Pope, President Bush, and the U.S. Senate. "The use of embryos to clone is wrong," Bush told reporters. "We should not as a society grow life to destroy it. It's morally wrong in my opinion." This statement from President Bush sums up the response from many people around the world. On Capitol Hill, Senator Sam Brownback said that he would scrap a recent agreement he had made with the Senate leadership to post-pone discussion of human cloning legislation until early next year. Instead, he said that he would push hard to pass a sweeping ban in the waning weeks of this coming session. If such legislation were passed, the use of human embryos for cloning would be highly illegal.

The issue of whether or not to use

Ultimately, if a struggle between the U.S. Government and the Tech Firm involved in the research takes place; there is no doubt that the three branches of

Government will be involved in making some serious decisions regarding the human cloning issue. The executive branch, including President Bush, have already stated that they are against human cloning entirely. If a decision is made to end the research and stop the scientists from producing more clones, most likely there will be a very controversial trial in the Supreme Court. Any ruling after the trial will result in the legislative branch acting fast to either stop the cloning, or protect certain areas of the research to allow for further safe advancement. The issue of whether or not to clone humans is something this world has never seen before these past few years. Moreover, because of the complex nature of the issue, it is difficult to say whether or not an agreement on the issue will be reached any time soon.

Another major ethical concern with regards to human cloning is the issue of life and death. Some people believ
