Dear Sir,
I am a student in the twelfth grade who is currently studying
at St. Columban's College in Caboolture, Brisbane, Queensland,
Australia.
I am taking a BSSS subject called
"Study of Religion". I have an assignment which
requires me to investigate the Church's position on cloning. Please refer me to available web sites, or readily available
texts that state the official position of the Church.
The assignment is due on January ,11 2000; so I would
appreciate your earliest reply.
With thanks,
Anna Mckeering
