Did Anyone Ever Tell You You Look Just Like…
by Gabrielle on January 20th, 2008
When we first figured out that baby-making wasn’t in the cards for me, my pediatric oncologist would always remind me that, “with so many advances in science, who knows what will be available to you once you are ready to start a family.”
In those days, 12-year old, optimistic me always assumed that cloning, if anything, would be the answer.
Between now and then, several assisted reproductive techniques were developed, one of which we have been able to utilize (hopefully successfully. I’ll tell you as soon as we know).
But now, in 2008, the ability to clone human cells is back in the news. The research is related to stem cell development, not infertility, per se. The controversy surrounding the experimentation is significant, and will certainly grow as word gets out.
But still, it’s pretty amazing, don’t you think?
