We have all seen the movie Jurassic Park, Some may have even read the book. Both illustrate the dangers of letting science get too out of hand. In this story a scientist with goals of financial gain uses breakthroughs in cloning to interfere with nature by recreating dinousaurs that died off millions of years ago. Why?

While this story is fictional, we should keep it in mind when we think about the direction science is heading in right now with cloning. We need to ask ourselves if the risks are worth it. What are the motives of the scientists doing the research? What are the possibilities of catastrophy? Should we be trying to play God? The creation of life is an extremely p
Another reason to stop research cloning is to avod exploitation of women. Thousands of eggs are needed for just one successful embyo. This means that millions if not billions of eggs will be needed for research. The operation to harvest these eggs are risky and invasive. Unlike the women who undergo the procedure for in vitro fertilization, women who take these risks for research cloning will be heavily influenced by the $4,000 price tag their eggs carry with them. Women of lower economic means will surely be exploited in this way.
