The mystery in question is none other than the human embryo cloned a la Dolly. The aim
As expected, the most rigid opposition has come from the Catholic Church, which considers the embryo to be a living person from the moment of conception. Cloning aside, even research involving "spare" embryos (created for infertility treatments but not used. is condemned because it is morally wrong to use a person for the benefit of someone else. At the opposite end of the spectrum (范围)lie the hardcore utilitarians (功利主义)of science and business, who are generally astute (精明的)enough not to announce their politically incorrect views: namely that the embryo isjust another batch of cellular sludge (淤积;淤沉)that can and should be used like any other biological resource in the pursuit of medical research.
