Cloning (克隆) Plan Poses New Ethical (伦理) DilemmaHealthy women could be asked to give their eggs for cloning research in an effort to speed up the development of new treatments for disease.Until now, cloning experts in Britain have found good excuses for their work by using only spare eggs left over from couples getting treatment at fertility (生育) clinics. The eggs are usually rejects of the IVF process and are routinely given up if not used in experiments.Ethical Questions on Giving EggsMany scientists working in the field believe their research is severely influenced because the eggs they use are of such poor quality that they often do not grow into healthy clones. But others believe that asking women to give eggs purely for research introduces a possible financial purpose that is morally unacceptable.Critics claimed it turns human eggs and the women who provide them into goods. They also warned that any woman considering giving eggs must be fully informed of the health risks before going through with the lengthy and sometimes painful process.Prof. Wilmut, the creator of Dolly, the cloned sheep, said that he hoped to get high quality eggs for cloning experiments by asking healthy women to give them for his research.In May, a team of scientists in Newcastle announced they had created the first cloned human embryo (胚胎) in Europe and only the second in the world, as part of a project to develop treatments for diabetes (糖尿病). They found that the quality of the eggs was important to the success of the experiments.In an interview, Prof. Wilmut said, I have never doubted that women would give if they thought we were helping people to have treatment. Our hope and belief is that women who have seen the bad effects of this disease will be prepared to make such a contribution. The suggestion has already caused anger among some religious groups.A representative with the HFEA refused to comment on whether Prof. Wilmuts suggestion had been received but said that an independent committee would make a decision on the matter.Professor Alison Murdoch, who leads the Newcastle cloning team, said that the lack of more eggs was influencing research and meant that alternatives to those given up during fertility treatment were needed greatly.Were not treating women specifically to get eggs for research. Its part of their fertility treatment. And until we have more experience, its not possible for us to know the best way to get eggs. But asking for contributions is an issue that needs to be discussed, she said.The potential benefits of collecting fresh eggs from women not going through with fertility treatment has already been demonstrated by the world-leading team in Asia. Having gathered eggs from women who gave eggs purely for research, the team went on to become the first to produce a cloned human embryo, and earlier this year reported they had produced tissues (组织) from clones tailored to specific patients.Possible Dangers in Egg GivingAccording to Prof. Murdoch, the most pressing issue was to ensure that any woman considering giving eggs for research was completely informed of the method, its risks, and the subsequent use of her eggs before she was allowed to do it.Before a woman can give eggs, she must first go through a process over several days to help her produce more eggs than normal. The eggs are then taken out surgically. Although this process is carried out routinely at fertility clinics, it is not without risks, and problems can range from pain and sickness to more dangerous and even life-threatening conditions.Josephine Quintavalle of the pressure group, Comment on Reproductive Ethics (伦理), said concerns for the health of egg donors had prompted the group to draw up an agreement to ensure that the risks are made clear. Theres a growing feeling that women are not told of the danger. At what point does it become right for a woman to go through with something which has risks when there is no benefit at all for her?Its no surprise that researchers are looking to fertile women to give eggs because they want them to produce the best tissues, but theres a danger that researchers have become too cheerful about this, she added. Im very nervous about this. Selfless contribution has a strong tradition in medicine, but any action of trying to ask women to give, whether its moral or financial, is something we should be aware of. If a woman decides of her own free will that she wants to give eggs, then that is her decision, but as soon as someone offers a reward, even if it is not financial, it becomes a worry.A
