...animals, chimerical creatures with human elements but not intellects should also be more morally acceptable. This is especially true when we consider the likely capacity of such mixed genetics to be a source of important medical benefits. Vaccines and life-saving drugs could be tested, as well as bone marrow and organs used for human transplant...

For the leukemia patient, for example, the cloned cells could provide an infusion of fresh bone marrow, and for the burn victim, grafts of brand-new skin.

"Given its potential benefit," says Dr. Robert Winston, a fertility expert at London's Hammersmith...
