In an age of great concern with civil rights, bioethicists had much "in common with the new roster of rights agitators" who were appearing on the American scene.' It is, therefore, no surprise that rights talk should have dominated the bioethics world, but such an emphasis has its problems and dangers.

People recalled such science-fiction tales as the 1978 movie The Boys from Brazil, in which Nazis living in South America cloned Adolf Hitler from preserved tissue, and believed that a nightmare was about to come true. What if an individual with the means to do so decided to produce dozens of copies of himself or herself? What if parents desired a "designer child"-a clone, perhaps, of supermodel Cindy Crawford, basketball star Michael Jordan, or chess champion Garry Kasparov? What if parents stopped giving birth to babies and, instead, reproduced themselves from skin cells? Would human cloning lead to people produced solely to serve as donors for organ transplants? Would babies that were products of cloning grow up to be normal, or would they be defective in some way? Reaction to Dolly Polls taken in February 1997 revealed the public's concern. A Gallup Poll indicated that 88 percent of people in the United States thought that the cloning of a human being would be "morally wrong," and a TIME/CNN poll indicated that 74 percent of Americans thought that human cloning was "against God's will." Among the religious organizations that spoke out against human cloning was the Roman Catholic Church, which, four days after Dolly's announcement, called for a global ban on human cloning. Politicians generally reacted negatively to the news of Dolly's birth. In March 1997, the British government announced that it planned to stop providing funds for cloning research at the Scottish institute where Dolly was produced. Also in March, U.S. President Bill Clinton warned scientists against the temptation "to play God," and he issued a 90-day moratorium on the use of U.S. government funds for research into the cloning of humans. Clinton also asked the National Bioethics Advisory Commission (NBAC)-a panel of 18 experts in science, law, and ethicsto develop recommendations for a national policy on human cloning. (The NBAC had been created by Clinton in 1995 to explore the ethical issues concerning the biotechnology industry.) The U.S. Congress introduced two bills that, if passed, would permanently ban federal funding for research into human cloning. A third bill would mandate a $5,000 fine on anyone conducting such research. Senator Christopher Bond of Missouri, the sponsor of one of the bills, said, "There are aspects of human life that should be off limits to science." 74 percent of Americans thought that human cloning was "against God's will." The Public Health and Safety Subcommittee of the Senate Labor and Human Resources Committee held a hearing in March 1997 during which several scientists and ethicists presented their opinions on cloning. Among those testifying before the subcommittee was Ian Wilmut, the scientist who led the team that produced Dolly. Wilmut surprised many when he announced that he too supported a ban on human cloning. He said that he had never heard of an ethically acceptable reason for cloning 10 At Issue
