| Message | We are confused about this one - the current law appears to allow research in cloning technologies (regulated, which might mean that cloning isn't allowed), not in cloning itself. |

| Message | Well, "researching" cloning involves doing actual experiments; hence, cloning would be a part of "researching." When one speaks of researching cloning, one means researching to improve the rate of success, or finding a new method, not researching how to clone, for we already know how to clone. |

| Message | We would strongly oppose any move to clone a human being - an entire person -, but what about cloning a cell, a set of cells, or a hand (to replace one that has been lost)? Would that be equally dangerous? |
