Dear Senator Boxer:

My name is Priscilla Fernandez and I am currently a junior at Hughson High School. I am writing this letter in regards to the proposal of a new bill about using taxpayer money in order to find research on all forms of cloning.

Research has shown that cloning can help cure …show more content…

For generations women have been the one’s to carry on the human species. At one time in history simply having children was a job. Women that are infertile may feel inferior to other women and although there is adoption wouldn’t you want a child that was technically your own? It is recommended to just choose a surrogate mother. The price for a surrogate mother currently be as much as triple the price of cloning. According to BankRate.com the price of surrogacy would range from $100,000 to $120,000.

In the article “Dangers of the Human Clones” Professor Ian Wilmot states “Currently almost 99% of cloning procedures end in failure” I agree yes like most projects there are high failure rates from the start. But did scientists such as Edward Jenner give up when he was searching for a cure for smallpox? No, he didn 't and with that mentality further scientific research will never be done.

Thank you Senator Boxer for your time. I hope you take into consideration the difference you can make, and vote yes for therapeutic and reproductive

    I believe that Raina voted for Proposition 71 to fund embryonic stem cell research. After spending some time researching I came to the conclusion that if I were in the same predicament as Raina.
