For it. I'm amazed at some of the videos I've seen on youtube. There's a vid about a type of worm they call 'immortal' because it can be cut apart over and over and continue to regrow into another complete worm. Crazy.

I just woke up, but I remember reading an article a while ago related to this. There is another source for the stem cells, and that being the "extra" parts from a transexual after their operation. They could actually pull cells from the testicles, for instance, of a man that has a sex change.

Something interesting you guys might like to know, but I read somewhere that stem cells have the potential to replace steroids by using muscle stem cells to augment muscle tissue.

The thing with cloning is that the scientific community (supposedly) has no specific interest in it. I'm all for growing organs and nerve systems, but what would really be the purpose of growing a fully grown clone? Clones are not without side-effects, as people that may have followed the story of Dolly the Sheep may know that she died at a relatively young age due to hip problems and premature ageing. Some animals that are clones have been known to have birth defects or experience high rate of miscariage.
