520    Few avenues of scientific inquiry raise more thorny 
       ethical questions than the cloning of human beings, a 
       radical way to control our DNA. In August 2001, in 
       conjunction with his decision to permit limited federal 
       funding for stem-cell research, President George W. Bush 
       created the President's Council on Bioethics to address 
       the ethical ramifications of biomedical innovation. Over 
       the past year the Council, whose members comprise a team 
       of leading scientists, doctors, ethicists, lawyers, 
       humanists, and theologians, has discussed and debated the 
       pros and cons of cloning, whether in the service of 
       producing children or as an aid to scientific research. 
       The questions the Council members confronted do not have 
       easy answers, and they did not seek to hide their 
       differences behind an artificial consensus. Rather, the 
       Council decided to allow each side to make its own best 
       case, so that the American people can think about and 
       debate these questions, which go to the heart of what it 
       means to be a human being. Just as the dawn of the atomic 
       age created ethical dilemmas for the United States, 
       cloning presents us with similar quandaries that we are 
       sure to wrestle with for decades to come.
