Of course, with so many couples desperate for a child yet unable to conceive through traditional IVF treatments, there is no shortageof volunteers. It would probably not work trying to prevent cloning, thus some form of regulation is almost inevitable . At the moment, cloning techniques are far from perfectand most attempts to clone animals end up in failure.U5This is an amusing short story which illustrates how little people sometimes know about their mother tongue. The narrator is a woman, a passenger in a taxi whose driver is a Pakistani man eager to learn English by asking his passengers about new words.
