1、Not Now,Dr.Miracle,And of course its created quite a stir,with other scientists rounding on Antinori as religious leaders line up to attack his cloning plan as an insult to human dignity.Yet its an ambition Antinori has expressed many times before.Whats new is that finally it seems to be building a

2、head of steam.Like-minded scientists from the US have joined Antinori in his cloning adventure.At a conference in Rome last week they claimed hundreds of couples have already volunteered for the experiments.Antinori shot to fame seven years ago helping grandmothers give birth using donor eggs.Later

3、he pioneered the use of mice to nurture the sperm of men with poor fertility.He is clearly no ordinary scientist but a showman who thrives on controversy and pushing reproductive biology to the limits.And that of course is one reason why hes seen as being so dangerous.,However,his idea of using clon

4、ing to combat infertility is not as mad as it sounds.Many people have a hard job seeing the point of reproductive cloning.But for some couples,cloning represents the only hope of having a child carrying their genes,and scientists like Antinori are probably right to say that much of our opposition to

7、e eager to go.A religious group called the Raelians believes cloning is the key to achieving immortality,and it,too,claims to have the necessary egg donors and volunteers willing to be implanted with cloned embryos.So what about tougher laws?Implanting cloned human embryos is already illegal in many

8、 countries but it will never be prohibited everywhere.In any case,the prohibition of cloning is more likely to drive it underground than stamp it out.Secrecy is already a problem.Antinori and his team are refusing to name the country theyll be using as their base.Like it or not,the research is going

9、 ahead.Sooner or later we are going to have to decide whether regulation is safer than prohibition.,Antinori would go for regulation,of course.He believes it is only a matter of time before we lose our hang-ups about reproductive cloning and accept it as just another IVF technique.Once the first bab

10、y is born and it cries,he said last week,the world will embrace it.But the world will never embrace the first cloned baby if it is unhealthy or deformed or the sole survivor of hundreds of pregnancies.In jumping the gun,Dr Miracle and his colleagues are taking one hell of a risk.If their instincts a
