The British government on Tuesday gave the creator of Dolly the Sheep a human cloning license for medical research.
It is the second such license approved since Britain became the first country to legalize research cloning in 2001.

The prejudice inherent in the statement is that there is some moral distinction between an embryo and a baby or a difference other than maturity.
