14. Scientists think that they can mix and match animals' genes in a controlled way, but actually the control is an illusion.

15. A recent report said that Dolly had developed arthritis at an unusually young age.

16. This provides one more piece of evidence that the present cloning procedures are rather inefficient.

17. Cloned animals seem to be more vulnerable to some diseases.

18. Ethicists and animal rights campaigners say cloning is irresponsible and dangerous.

19. Some fear that potentially diminished individuality and personal autonomy will harm the cloned children.

23. Religious believers also accuse the researchers of attempting to play God.

24. Therefore, people opposing to cloning urge the government to pass a human cloning ban as soon as possible.

25. Others contend that human cloning could be morally justified under some circumstances, but hold that it should be strictly regulated in order to prevent abuses.
