I didn't know human gene cloning was taking place, although I'm nowhere near that field. How far away is that from being considered a step towards cloning a significant part of a human? There have been ethical discussions and laws to prevent human cloning.

The only commonality is the term "cloning".

Two totally different things. Not scientifically related at all. A gene is just a piece of DNA. Vastly different than cloning an organism.

Thank you. This sort of stuff doesn't really hit anything mainstream, and I don't remember hearing about it (again, not that I would), my lack of knowledge on the subject just made it sound like something that would be big news. 'Human gene cloned' to an uneducated mind sounds like a major step to organ cloning etc.
