Obama Says No To Clones and Cloning

Wow. This was unexpected. First Obama Lifts the ban on embryonic stem cell research and now he's talking about clones. I would not want a clone of me. I'm glad he feels this way becaues clones would be bad. I hope the guidelines will be strict so this is not allowed.


WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama says human cloning is "dangerous, profoundly wrong" and has no place in society.

Obama made the comments as he was signing an executive order that will allow federal spending on embryonic stem cell research.

Some critics say the research can lead to human cloning. Obama said the government will develop strict guidelines for the research because misuse or abuse is unacceptable.

He said he would ensure that the government never opens the door to the use of cloning for human reproduction.
