that had been cloned by a Scottish scientist, Ian Wilmut of Roslin institute. Few months later in June Wilmut, at the first conference on the ethics of mammalian cloning, discusses several important facts with other researchers who were in cloning. First, he himself admitted that his present techniques of cloning are very inefficient. "He [Wilmut] used 277 sheep eggs to produce 29 embryos, for thirteen pregnancies. He got three near-births but produce only one live lamb. (Pence X)" It concludes that most of the egg cells used in cloning are destroyed. Dr. Wilmut states that the fate of humans for the development into a living clone is same as animals. Now, the question arises that if the same trial and error method were used to produce a human clone, would it be worth risking the deaths of hundreds of embryos for our selfish desires? It would be unethical to risk the lives of thousands of embryos, which could be future children to someone to create a fragile clone, whose life expectancy has not yet been well researched. Second, Wilmut had some examples of large monstrous offspring which cannot be delivered by any normal means. Wilmut and other researchers do not know if nuclear transfer, environment, or problems in cell culture causes this bizarre syndrome (Pence X). In spite of the modern technology and bioresearch there is a high death rate with nuclear transfer and the risk of abnormality with manipulation. The surrogate mothers are at a high risk due to the possibility of abnormal that enlarged development of the 'clone' fetus. The cloned baby may probably develop serious def
