The British authorize the human cloning experimentation - your opinion ?

it is a dramatic error which opens the box Pandora

1. I dislike cloning for anything from animals to humans. The prospects

of cloning Bush* are too scary. And it is the people with money who will get cloned, not the smart ones.

2. No problem with human cloning, per se

But I'm not sure if we're really to the point that we should be engaging in human experimentation.

This isn't a sci-fi movie. I'm sure we can handle it. Let's not join the Talibush is opposing scientific progress.

4. Some background on the decision

This is licenced therapeutic cloning, for embryo stem cell research.

Personally, I do not regard it as 'opening Pandora's box' - if that was done, then it surely happened when people started creating more embryos than they could implant for in vitro fertilisation. These are now routinely destroyed (but I regard that as acceptable too).
