It's sadly true that someone will clone, whether it's legal and regulated, or not. But since we've failed so miserably at controlling the other products you've listed, how will we control cloning? I strongly support reproductive choice, yet I find myself uncomfortable about stem cell research when it poses the possibility that embryos will be created simply to harvest stem cells. Similarly, I don't want to see cloning used for "curing" anything, let alone for much else. Mother Earth is not going to be able to support the human population if people live longer than Nature intended. And the fact that only the relatively wealthy will be able to afford these "cures" ... well, that smacks of a certain kind genocide to me. Wait a minute ... "Gene Mock?" Is that your real name, or have you just been waiting for this topic to surface on the JMDL? ; ) Lori ~ Got something to say? Say it better with Yahoo! Video Mail
