    And we couldn’t construct a holistic cloned testing environment that can break A down into B and C and D, and then observe the effects? So you aren’t just testing it on isolated tissue samples, but on entire cloned systems with all of the interactions of an actual human body?

    That’s not something possible at the moment, I understand that. I just think it would be better to focus all of our efforts on making it possible.

      What you are proposing may seem nice, but any ethics committee would shut this down instantly, anywhere in the world.

      But let’s imagine we can do this, somehow, and that all the ethical issues are resolved. Harvard might be able to grow their “thing”, or order it from some specialized company; how do you not condemn all research in developing countries?
