Today’s Your Call: Is human cloning a giant leap for science, or a step too far? American scientists have managed to clone human embryos and harvest stem cells. The embryos were only allowed to develop to an early stage - but long enough to extract valuable cells that could treat Alzheimer's, Multiple Sclerosis, and other diseases. In theory they could be grown into living human clones. Stem cells have the potential to treat a range of diseases - so is this a big advance for medicine? Or is tampering with human embryos unethical? If so, should it be banned? Human cloning: a giant leap for science, or a step too far? Call 0500 909 693. Text 85058.
