Tissue Can Be Taken from Mentally Incapacitated to Make Clones without Consent under British Bill
By Hilary White
In London, an amendment to the Human Fertilisation and Embryology bill now allows tissue to be taken from people who lack the “mental capacity” and to be given to used to make a clone. This amendment allows tissue to be removed from children, those in comas, or those with dementia who are incapable of understanding what is going on. This amendment also allows any tissue that has been previously donated by donors who can no longer be traced to be used as well to make clones. Some agree that this bill allows unethical activities which include the creation of human/animal hybrid clones. This bill is raising lots of controversy between Pro-life campaigners and those behind the bill. I believe that this bill will cause a lot of conflict in London. Embryos which were donated by donors who can not be traced should not be used to make clones becuase that was not the purpose of their donation.

I agree with you that this bill definitely does provide lots of room for conflict. It seems to me that this is a form of cloning and should be looked at more in depth. Interesting article!
