The moral status of early human life has been a highly contested public issue in the United States at least since the Supreme Court abortion decisions of the early 1970’s. Differences in moral evaluation of the embryo have continued to divide participants in moral and policy debates about in vitro fertilization, as they also divide in the debate about the permissibility of research on embryonic development. The disclosure in 1993 that two scientists at George Washington University Hospital in Washington, D.C., had “cloned” a human embryo (by splitting off cells before differentiation had occurred and while development of the cells into a twin embryo was still possible) prompted well-publicized controversy (National Advisory Board on Ethics in Reproduction, 1994). With the March 1997 announcement that a Scottish scientist, Ian Wilmut, had cloned a sheep from the mammary cell of an ewe, the status of the embryo was placed in still another new context. Now a new individual could be created from only one biological parent.
