I'm sorry China, but stem cell research isn't about cloning humans, but to save their lives. To produce marrow for people with a dangerously affected immune system, or organs or parts of organs in vitro (without cloning a person) to respond for the lack of organ donors. It's also to create skin for burnt victims. Plus, they don't take anything from babies, dead or alive, except is the mother approves. No money comes out of it for the parents. All you need to do is give the umbilical chord instead of throwing it away.
If you don't want us to talk about Bush's regime, please don't judge science without knowing, or doing some in depth research from multiple sources before you do. I don't want to be harsh, but most of the people that judge the stem cell research have no idea what it's all about.
Of course, if it comes to cloning your kid that died in a car crash... then you'd have to be seriously sick.. I'm against cloning babies. But stem cell research is crucial nowadays, and could make a difference between life or death for someone you love, like your daugher, or my father (true story here)
