LabelAllow human cloning if treatment for Parkinson's disease needed? B2.47bC2.37b
Question text You might have heard of something called human cloning. One type of cloning would be if a person’s genes were copied exactly and used to make an embryo. Cells from the embryo could be used to supply the person with tissues or organs that would be a perfect match for them, meaning their body would not reject them. Do you think this should be allowed or not allowed if a person needs treatment for Parkinson's disease?
