This lady pretty much summed it up on a Nova Science Now episode:
Lauren's mom, Moira McCarthy Stanford, is a Catholic and the parent of a diabetic child. Hopeful that the work might lead to a cure for diabetes, she supports cloning for research.
MOIRA McCARTHY STANFORD: To me, that ball of cells is the miracle of possibility. It's the possibility of becoming a human being if it ends up implanted in a woman. It's the possibility of becoming cells to be put in my daughter because she needs to be cured of diabetes. It's the possibility of becoming the nerve endings for a spinal cord so someone can walk again. It hasn't made its mind up yet of what to be, and, therefore, it is the possibility of all different kinds of life, whether it's new life or saving life.
