Links are my choice, but do not necessarily reflect my opinion. I often link to articles, sites and blogs with which I disagree. I try to look at all sides, but the fact that I'm human makes it impossible for me to view anything completely objectively. |
25 November, 2001: "Cloning..."By Kathy Kinsley I'm sure everyone has heard that a company has announced that it has successfully cloned human embryo cells. I've got a few reservations about the idea of making "clone babies", mainly because so many of the people who would like one have motives I worry about--people who want to clone a child who died, a parent who died or themselves. I suspect none of these are very good ideas. Having the same genes will not give the same personality, and I suspect any clones made by people with these motives would live a pretty hellish life (no, I have no proof... it's just my instinct). I would; however, like to right now declare my complete opposition to those who are trying to ban any experimentation. Stem cells are not embryos, no matter how much spin you put on them. I would recommend reading everything Reason Online has just put up, and doing a lot of thinking , before you make your decision on this issue. It is not as simple as it may be made to seem by the media (nothing is). I know this is supposed to be a war blog... but I am not that one-sided. Other issues do occasionally get my attention.
