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.
