1) I am not a boy. I am a 41 year old woman.

2) Therapeutic cloning research is in its earliest stages so your amateur pronouncements of what it will consist of are ridiculous. The obvious goal, which will likely be achieved, is to learn how to direct the undifferentiated blastocyst to produce ONLY the type of tissue which is needed for the therapeutic procedure at hand. Note that researchers have already managed to get some cells planted on the side of a mouse to grow into a human ear -- these cells were not from an embryonic source (as cartilage can be grown from samples taken from mature humans), but this is the type of approach which cloning research will almost certainly focus on.

While people like you are running around spreading alarmist misinformation, real scientists are doing real research, and many of us don't want the government throwing up obstacles to their research.

The blastocyst is a lot of things, but 'undifferentiated' isn't one of them. But you probably knew that already and chose to use the term to support only the notion of totipotent to pluripotent cell differentiation. The very act of reaching the blastocyst age of the individual human life conceived shows some differentiation in order to polarize the cell structures for placental formation and body formation. Therapeutic cloning is the act of conceiving an individual close duplicate to the parent genetic donor, then raising that individual life toi the stage desired for harvesting. That is cannibalizing of individual human life.
