Obama Approves of Cloning Research

President Obama had good news for the scientific community and the American public on Monday: he reversed the ban on federal funding of stem cell research. This is is an important development and something to take note of if you might like to clone your pet. In lifting the ban on funding this research, the president has established a tolerant tone on the issue of cloning. In addition, acknowledging the importance of the information gathered through stem cell research emphasizes the importance of the research done to clone your pet. With this development, society has taken a giant step toward a better quality of life.

Since 1996, the government has regulated public funding of research on cloning. Now, the president has acknowledged the importance of this area of science. In his executive order, he says that “advances over the past decade in this promising scientific field have been encouraging.” This reflects well on pet cloning efforts, because research done on cloning pets has added to advances in the field.

As more research is done on cloning of stem cells, scientists will look to information that has been gathered by companies that will cone your pet. In fact, because stem cell research has gone so long without funding, experts are afraid that the field lacks talent and leadership in this country. In an interview with Brian Leher on New York radio station WNYC, Michael Christman, president and CEO of the Coriell Institute for Medical Research said, "damage has been done, really, by the Bush rescinding of federal funding in 2001, nationwide, because you have a whole, sort of, generation of scientists that saw embryonic stem cell funding as not a viable career, and those people are now - either have left the country or are doing something else." Luckily, pet cloning companies will be able to fill in that gap. As this society becomes more comfortable with the idea of cloning and the benefits that can and will follow, it will become more acceptable to clone your pet.
