Scientific procedures and cloning

• Fletcher himself was involved in cloning research and had clear views on bio-ethics
• Human welfare = pragmatic way of saving human lives by developing vaccines for major diseases
• End justifies the means
• Example: Lab mice 


  • tubes inserted into their brains
  • Starved
  • Forced to run on treadmills to avoid electric shocks
  • Killed with disturbing methods e/g decapitation of infant rats with scissors
  • Never be loving to subject an animal to this treatment
• Elements of risk are up to the individual for cloning
