What Michael Missed

[Preechr]

Hell, I dunno. I remember talking with a sales rep from the Scottish company that cloned Dolly in a bar once. He claimed that the moral stance taken by EVERYONE in the industry would preclude any human cloning EVER. I argued that would be the first time humans had not done something they had developed the technology to do, and I said he was full of shit. Our conversation was overheard by others, and pretty soon, nearly everybody in the bar was taking a deep moral stance on the issue. I was really surprised at how upset people got over it, whether they were for it or against it.

Maybe it's an outgrowth of the abortion debate, but I think there's more to it than that. I think people are just as divided on the topic as they are on abortion, and probably for similar reasons. If that's the case, this is gonna develop into one hell of a political football in the coming years, just like abortion has. I can almost google the Supreme Court decision now...
