Biggest Can-O-Worms in a LONG Time

Adam

So what does everyone think about this whole human cloning thing our intreped scientists recently accomplished? I haven't read up enough and discussed enough to formulate a rock solid opinion on all the ins and outs of the whole issue, and I like to have rock solid opinions on just about everything (but I don't push my views on anyone or consider opposing views "wrong," that's something else I have a strong opinion about). I have been away for a few days so if this has been covered, please accept my appologies for the repetition and direct me to the appropriate subject heading. If not, please let me know what you think and why.

Most of this cloning issue is just plain silly.

Human clones have existed for centuries - big deal!

I don't waste a nanosecond worrying about some nutball
cloning himself. I want the government to GET OUT OF THE WAY
so science can move forward.

Wanna see the lame walk, the blind see, paralyzed people
move again? This is the way - regrowing whatever is needed
as new FULLY COMPATIBLE organs. You don't have to regrow
a whole person!!!!! Just the stuff you want!

Religious leaders were publically opposed to ANESTHESIA,
for God's sake! (They thought pain was ordained by God).
History should tell us - stop the foot dragging, get on
with human progress!

The juggarnaut is going in that direction. It can't be stopped. Christians are against it, abortions and uethenasia, but they love war. Go figure.

Metatron-i agree.

I can't say it better than Metatron. I can, however, say it louder and with curse words for emphasis. Watch.

I want the government to GET THE F**K OUT OF THE WAY
SO SCIENCE CAN MOVE FORWARD GODDAMMIT!.

HISTORY SHOULD GIVE US A FRICKIN CLUE - STOP THE FOOT DRAGGING, FER CHRIST SAKE, AND GET ON WITH HUMAN PROGRESS, FOR THE LOVE OF MARY.

Human cloning cannot be stopped. The benefits - both medically
and economically, are too great.

The incentive to take advantage of this new knowledge is so large
that even if the fundies are successful at stopping research in
one country, it will simply move to another. With over 200
political jurisdictions, some country (in fact many countries),
will welcome the research and development.

This is probably the biggest scientific breakthrough in the history
of the world. It is impossible to stop.

My opinion?

STOP CLONING AROUND!

I'll take 12 Dan Blockers, 6 Sean Astins and throw in a couple of Mark McGuires for holidays.

I don't know, Joel. That's a lot of Hosspower to deal with.

Cloning to me, as a parent who has lost a child not 1 month old, is abhorrant. When they clone an embryo they are creating life, in essence. When you clone an embryon you are cloning a child.......innocent and naive...............why create it to destroy it before it has a chance to prove what it "could have been"?
