Dear Senator Boxer:

My name is Priscilla Fernandez and I am currently a junior at Hughson High School.

For generations women have been the one’s to carry on the human species. At one time in history simply having children was a job. Women that are infertile may feel inferior to other women and although there is adoption wouldn’t you want a child that was technically your own? It is recommended to just choose a surrogate mother. The price for a surrogate mother currently be as much as triple the price of cloning. According to BankRate.com the price of surrogacy would range from $100,000 to $120,000.

In the article “Dangers of the Human Clones” Professor Ian Wilmot states “Currently almost 99% of cloning procedures end in failure” I agree yes like most projects there are high failure rates from the start. But did scientists such as Edward Jenner give up when he was searching for a cure for smallpox? No, he didn 't and with that mentality further scientific research will never be done.

Thank you Senator Boxer for your time. I hope you take into consideration the difference you can make, and vote yes for therapeutic and reproductive

I appreciate the time and effort you and your staff have devoted to this issue, and I know you have given this issue a lot of thought. About 80 percent of Planned Parenthood’s users are over age 20, and 75 percent have incomes below the poverty line.

I think if there is allegations of clones that have not been documented, serious investigations should be done, along with possible fines for false information. There are so many pitfalls to creating clones that not everyone should have the power. Due to the ethical issues of creating human life using cloning and the risks involved, reproductive cloning is illegal in the United States

Not only are there many ways in which human cloning can be misused, such as, creating clones for organ donors or replacement children, but cloning has also proved to be rather dangerous (Hoskins).
