if it becomes theoretically possible to create new life by cloning my liver cells, my liver cells become off limits to investigation if this is our standard. Nonsense. You're purposely obfuscating the difference between organ and organism. As stated previously, IF stem cells from XBob's body could be removed and coaxed into growing a new panceas for XBob, then that organ implanted into XBob, to cure his dibetes, I would welcome such as a medical miracle worthy of society's hearty embrace.

No, I'm trying to establish what the difference is. Suppose we can take a cell from XBob and grow a whole new XBob - don't XBob's cells then have exactly the same embryonic potential as parthenotes or fertilized eggs or whatever?
