concern because of the way in which the clone is produced or "conceived". The clone is not produced sexually but through asexual scientific means. Although in vitro fertilization involves the fertilization of the egg in a petri dish or test tube, the involvement of sperm makes it sexual and thus, more "normal" and acceptable than the cloning procedure. With kinship, there is the question to the relation of the clone to its "parents". The clone has a full set of DNA that has been derived from the mother and father of the donor. This is because the clone is genetically identical to the donor. Thus, the clone is not the offspring or child of the donor, nor is the donor the "parent" of the clone in any biological sense. The clone is more like a sibling or "delayed twin" to the donor (Appendix A.7). At the beginning of this year, researchers at an infertility clinic in South Korea announced that they had created the world's first human clone. The experiment had to be halted after the embryo reached a certain stage in development to comply with est
