The Issue
Scientists using cloned human embryos for research are on the verge of a medical breakthrough.
The Debate
"It's really very exciting," says lab head Gregory Washington. "Until now, we've kept very quiet, to avoid being targeted by lunatic fringe groups who for some reason think it's wrong to clone human embryos. It's too early to promise anything, but we hope that one day we will have genetic cures for a whole range of debilitating illnesses. I certainly hope the government will support our work."
This is the position your government is preparing to adopt.
