The Business of Cloning

By  Health & Science Staff

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. See what IslamOnline writers have written so far on this very controversial issue.
