But the bulk of the cloning articles that I have seen (I admit that is very limited as I left biology for the wonderful world of computers), the drive has been to clone a complete and functioning individual being (dolly the sheep comes to mind), not the development of an organ.
Which brings me back to my original concern of: at what point does the "soul" get imbued into the developing organism. that has never been defined, and until it is, this is a ground that needs to be avoided due to the bigger picture implications of terminating a Life.
Like I said in a previous post, science and knowledge does not exist in a vacuum or ivory tower, the implications of end use of research need to be addressed, the techniques and key piece of information will still be waiting there (just like they are now) until the bigger picture issues are resolved.
