If a clone originates from an existing person, who is the parent?
The parent is the person in which the DNA was taken from because cloning is the method of producing a baby that has the same genes as its parent. During cloning, you take an egg and remove its nucleus, which contains the DNA genes. Then you take the DNA from the adult cell and insert it into the egg.

Should cloning research be regulated? How, and by whom?
Cloning research should not be regulated because the medical benefits of cloning could have the potential to bring our society to a whole new level. With today's technology to identify a genetic defect before the child is born, and the ability to eliminate a disease with a medical procedure while the child is still in the mother's womb. With cloning, children who would have been born with defects or diseases would instead be born healthy.
