'Dolly' Creator's Human Cloning License is a 'Wolf in Sheep's Clothing', says Christian Medical Association
"It's dressing a wolf in sheep's clothing to claim that you're somehow helping humanity when in fact you're killing living human beings," noted David Stevens, M.D., Executive Director of the 17,000-member Christian Medical Association. "So-called 'therapeutic cloning' is hardly therapeutic for the living human subjects destroyed in the process."
Britain's Human Fertilization and Embryology Authority approved a human cloning license for Ian Wilmut, who led the team that created Dolly at Scotland's Roslin Institute in 1996. "Even apart from the overriding moral concern about destroying living human beings in a utilitarian approach to medicine," noted CMA Associate Executive Director Gene Rudd, MD, "no scientist can guarantee that a cloned human embryo will not eventually be implanted to be born. A cloned human embryo would look exactly like a normally conceived human embryo, and the technology to implant that human embryo is already commonplace."
