Little has been heard of late from the gaggle of eccentric experts ready to clone children for their clients. Greek Cypriot Panos Zavos, Italian Severino Antinori and French Brigitte Boisselier have been out of the headlines for a couple of years. Nonetheless, philosophers are still hard at work finding arguments to justify their activities, if and when reproductive cloning becomes possible. In the latest issue of the Journal of Medical Ethics, Silvia Camporesi and Lisa Bortolotti conclude that that there are no good arguments to ban reproductive cloning. And since bad regulations could impair its implementation or restrict it too narrowly, they call for "a productive exchange of views" now. "The time left [before it happens] should be usefully spent in the creation of policies and institutions that can tackle potential problems and find effective solutions." ~ Journal of Medical Ethics, Sept 2008
