The quandry

phil — 8/9/2001 4:11:22 PM (archived)

I have real problems with this topic.
Even tho I like Arnie & Mel Gibson movies I really don't like gratouously killing stuff. I really worry about when a person IS a person. I do not know the answer. I don't even know if it's scientifically addressable. What I do think is wrong is the oft touted "it's a woman's body, her choice" PC philosophy that you must spout to be considered civilized. Frank, I reluctantly support your trimester view on this topic, realizing that we have no real clue other than ideology. Not a good position to be in.

I have no problems with cloning per se but I say it is unconscionable to clone (create) humans before we really really understand this technology. Profit, fame and hubris drives this attempt. Not good.
