Excerpt
“A prohibition of cloning which would be limited to preventing the birth of a cloned child, but which would still permit the cloning of an embryo-foetus, would involve experimentation on embryos and foetuses and would require their suppression before birth—a cruel, exploitative way of treating human beings.
In any case, such experimentation is immoral because it involves the arbitrary use of the human body (by now decidedly regarded as a machine composed of parts) as a mere research tool. The human body is an integral part of every individual's dignity and personal identity, and it is not permissible to use women as a source of ova for conducting cloning experiments.
It is immoral because even in the case of a clone, we are in the presence of a “man”, although in the embryonic stage.”

Thanks very much for that, STF. :) I wasn't sure if you had to destroy an embryo to just make a body part, or if it could just be made from the person's own cells. Or, is it no good because of the embryos they would have to destroy to research how to do it? In either case, I am glad the Church is against all of it, as am I. Thanks again.
