Human cloning: who is cloning humans, how, why and who is (not) paying

How human clones are being made - for medical research. Arguments for and against human cloning research. Why investors are moving away from human cloning and why human cloning now looks a last-century way to fight disease. Why some people want to clone themselves or even to clone the dead (and not just cloning pets).

Human cloning is quite simple - a scientist even did it with a cow's egg, but he destroyed the embryo before implantation.  However huge risks of mutation with human cloning. See human cloning pictures below.

In human cloning the aim is for two cells to fuse to become one.  The egg gains a full set of genes from the adult and thinks it has been fertilised.  It begins to divide to become an identical twin (clone) of the adult.  As with Dolly the sheep.  However, the cloned baby could have genes that are as old as the older cloned twin.

I met a British scientist who was researching human cloning. He wanted to clone an embryo, implant it in the womb and cull it for spares for the older twin.  Actually this is THE ONLY way that so-called therapeutic cloning could produce organs and organised tissues rather than just collections of cells in a lab - unless you take organs after birth.  

The human cloning argument could go like this:  child is dying, use cells and a human egg to clone child.  Implant clone into mother in poor nation - pay her $10,000.  Take baby from her at birth.  Remove tissues needed after birth - say a kidney at the age of two - and offer cloned child for adoption.  Child remains healthy on one kidney, older twin life is saved.  Childless couple get a baby.  Poor mother gets an income.  But I don't want to live in a world like that.  And as I say, human cloning poses huge emotional and phyical risks for the younger child.
