For
just $200,000 US, you can be cloned “whatever your reasons may be”,
according to Clonaid’s website, the company that has claimed to have produced
the first human clone. For $200 a year, preserve your cells for a
lifetime, and for $5000 (plus transplantation fees) infertile women can choose
their future baby from a catalogue showing the pictures of egg donor women!
How
ethical is it for companies and “parents” alike to have an unprecedented
control over someone else’s genetic makeup? What are the implications
and what are the consequences on the clones themselves? The debate is on.

issue.
