“Farming cloned livestock should be banned because the animals suffer too much, EU ethics experts said last night .”
Meanwhile, in the USA, there is no restriction—at all—on human cloning, be it for so-called “therapeutic” purposes (i.e. where a human being is cloned and then the clone is dismembered for parts) or for reproductive purposes (that is, in America it’s A-OK to clone-for-babies). But maybe once we see that the animals suffer too much we’ll do something about the humans—we wouldn’t want to be speciesists , after all.
