Cloning's negative outcomes are evident in its offending people and groups all over the world. Over the years, as cloning development increased, strong opinions and offences to it have been formed. One of the groups that is tremendously affected by the research of cloning is the Catholic religion. Catholics see cloning as a conflict to their beliefs, for many doctors use the genetic material of aborted fetuses. Biologist John Gearhart has sited the Catholic Church as stating, "The American Conference of Catholic Bishops has objected that his work could encourage women to seek abortions" (Flam k2030). Doctors extract human embryonic stem cells from these aborted fetuses in attempt to create human clones. This troubles the Catholic Church for abortions are not allowable to them, and therefore the use of these aborted fetuses further conflicts their beliefs. Cloning humans not only offends the Catholic Church, but also offends many of our nations leaders including president Bill Clinton. President Bill Clinton states, "I am deeply troubled by this news of experiments involving the mingling of human and non-human species" (McFarling k4912). Clinton's concern in the cloning of humans is as a result of the laboratory breeding of human genes with cow-eggs. Clinton is driven to highlight this topic to assure that cloning does not become legal, and to keep his opinion out for the world to see. Cloning in the present day is driving certain groups farther from each other which is very capable of leading to dangerous conflicts.
Cloning poses extreme dangers to our society. As all work done in cloning is still experimental, great hazards accompany the exploration of this scientific field. One of the dangers keeping the human cloning experiments down is the unknown health risk that would apply to the clone and to society in general. Professor Lee Silver acknowledged, "Nobody knows right now if it would work" (McFarling k4912).
