The movie in a way is rather moving, no boring moment and draws your mood to keep watching it till the end. But obviously it actually is a pro-cloning movie and encourages people to support cloning. For that part, I don't like it. I don't care how other people think but I just find cloning people is simply not right! To use cloning technique to save life and cure disease that is anther matter. But cloning a baby just because you cannot get an own baby through other way? That is terrible! A child is not a toy, we should not make one like designer's product in factory. Be mature, in our life we cannot always get the things which we want. You want a child, then go and try to adopt one, there are thousands of nobody's child waiting for parent care and family love!
While some may say that this is just an ordinary tv movie, I must concede a point, they are correct but that is not the whole story. What you may fail to realise is the ethical questions raised by the cloning of a human being. The movie addresses quite few issues that seem as relevant today as when the movie is set. Press invasion is nicely treated and the fame hungry Bridget Fonda's character goes through somewhat of a change. She goes from a cold-hearted glory-hungry monster to ethical reporter (I will not spoil the ending). Next we see a much more sympathetic depiction of the doctors involved and the research they use and the reasons they do what they do. What is most interesting is the ethical questions that you ask yourself. Would you do the same thing if it was your only avenue for having a child? Put yourself in their shoes then try and tell me you would not.
I saw this Movie and thought it was dreadfully slow. The plot has good bones and could have been something more spectacular. Basically its about aging Parents who lost their child and decide to clone their dead child. They find a doctor and team that are willing to do this. It is basically takes place before Cloning issues and laws were developed - it likens cloning to test tube babies and IVF as an alternative method for people to have children. It also shows some arguments against it.
I think the actors did a great job with a bad script.
Its not a sci-fi or even exciting medical doc. Deserved its time slot of 12.30am. I recommend not to bother with it unless you are really bored.

The real title shown in Lifetime TV is 'One Particular Baby' or something like that.
Bridget Fonda is just great as the journalist who has the exclusive story of the first clone baby. The Doctor who actually gets through the first clone, looks like 'Weakest Link' hostess, but never says 'Goodbye' in any part of the movie.
The movie shows all the process, from the first steps of the cloning, throughout the pregnancy and the baby born (even showing the first anniversary of such news coming out).
It actually shows the reality that could come out of something like a baby clone, from the human point of view of a mother who lost her daughter and wants another baby looking just like the one she lost.
The problem is that the movie stands the not so objective side and tries to suggest that cloning is OK, when that is something being banned not only in USA or the World. So... it gives you the opportunity to disagree and hope that nobody follows such example without showing the bad that could come out of it (like the bad sheeps that came out BEFORE the first GOOD clone one), but I guess that would be 'another movie'.

Yet another tv movie, about cloning, and yet a bad one if that, it stars Bridget Fonda in the rollin, rollin, rollin, rollin, rollin, type performance as the reporter who's women's fetus is a clone , stupid teleplay and a three word line that I Have never seen in the history of tv movies " that beats limp bizkit", which had should have been called My ordinary bizkit, instead of this dreary dull wreck, if only fred durst would have starred in the tv movie instead of this, this tv movie is about as bad as the band.
