Cloning Survey A recent Gallup poll consisted of 1012 randomly selected adults who were asked whether “cloning of humans should or should not be allowed.” Results showed that 89% of those surveyed indicated that cloning should not be allowed.

Based on that result, is there strong evidence supporting the claim that the majority is opposed to such cloning?
