Cloning.... Your Thoughts

[Mr 5 0]

No. I'm against it.

'Only for medical reasons' sounds so good; so reasonable and, well, scientific and compassionate but I'm against it for moral reasons as well as the fact that this will quickly go to human cloning in overseas labs, even if illegal in the U.S.

I can't do anything about that but as critics predict, the 'medical only' prohibition will fall soon enough, as this is the nature of science. Watch.

The anti-stem-cell-harvesting argument is valid if the human embryos are the result of abortions, as this legitimizes abortion for 'medical' research and makes latent, living, forming human beings mere vehicles to harvest 'parts' from. Allowing Christoper Reeve to walk again is commendable but not at the price of killing a human being in the womb to accomplish it.

Yes, I would feel the same if it was me or a member of my family who might benefit from stem-cell harvesting...we've discussed it at length.
My position on this procedure is based on a pro-life view and is not relative to suit unexpected situations, even my own.

That's my personal opinion but other's may differ, of course. I'm not the President or a Supreme Court Justice so my opinion may not matter much but it was solicited - so there it is.
