This is only part of the story..too long to copy..but it raises the question of cloning. Human to human cloning has been done but how do we feel about animal to human cloning? Are centaurs really a fairy tale or a possibility? How does this merge with a 'right to life' issue? sammieswife.
Cady, the little girl killed in 2002 car crash who could 'live' again as a clone

She died at the age of ten in a horrific car crash, but now the little girl known only as Cady could be brought back to life by controversial fertility expert Panayiotis Zavos.
He froze some of her blood cells after her death in August 2002, and combined them with cow eggs to create a human-animal hybrid embryo.
Cady's mother said she was happy for the cells to be implanted in a human womb if there was a chance of a clone of her child being born.
Life after death: Cady, seen here as a baby, died when she was ten but could be recreated as a clone
But Dr Zavos himself vetoed the procedure, on the basis he would not transfer a hybrid embryo into a human body.
Now, however, he has claimed to have cloned human embryos and transferred them to four women prepared to give birth to the first cloned babies.
Dr Zavos sensationally broke the sacred taboo of human individuality by cloning 14 embryos and placing 11 of them into the wombs of four women, he told The Independent yesterday.
