Mission
Statement
History
The nonprofit
Human Cloning Foundation started the Web site (www.HumanCloning.org) in February
1998. On the 23rd of November of that year, the Foundation was incorporated in the state of Georgia.
The HCF received
its IRS letter of determination as a nonprofit on December 14th 1999.
Today (in 2001) the HCF's website is the largest, busiest, most interactive
pro-cloning site on the internet. To date, over half
a million people have visited the web site's home page, and over 1500 people
have registered with the Foundation.
Mission The nonprofit
Human Cloning Foundation exists to promote human cloning and other forms of
biotechnology. Cloning technology can be used to cure diseases and prolong life. The HCF believes that
blood can be cloned, organs can be cloned, and that infertility can be cured
with the use of this new technology. It is hoped that cloning will help
unlock the secrets of cancer and lead to its
cure. Cloning should lead to remarkable advances in cosmetic and plastic
surgery, as well as anti-aging therapies and other forms of rejuvenation.
Cloning has revolutionized biology and medicine.
Any donations to the Human Cloning Foundation are currently
focused on funding research into reproductive human cloning for therapeutic
purposes. To allow infertile couples to conceive a genetically related child.
The HCF is a completely volunteer non-profit organization.
Programs
The Human Cloning
Foundation's programs include its Web site with message boards and chat rooms.
The HCF publishes essays in support of human cloning and its technology, and
provides resources for students writing such essays. The HCF runs an Internet
mailing list for researchers, scientists, and physicians who wish to discuss
human cloning. The HCF plans to sponsor a yearly international conference on
human cloning technology. A variety of educational programs about human cloning
and other forms of biotechnology are constantly in progress.

Comments
The Human
Cloning Foundation has an ever-growing list of volunteers. Many of the people
who register with the Foundation are suffering from medical disorders that
cloning technology may help to cure. For example, many of our registrants are in
kidney failure and need kidneys. Many suffer from leukemia and need bone marrow
and blood. Others need body parts because of amputations, tragedies, or for
cosmetic reasons. We believe that someday we will be able to clone body parts or
organs in the laboratory. Infertile couples are common, many of who are turning
to this new technology since all other methods of having children have failed
for them. The amount of good that can be done with cloning technology is
staggering.
