Read it properly: "CHICAGO - The American Medical Association endorsed cloning for research purposes Tuesday, putting the nation's largest organization of doctors officially at odds with the Bush administration. The policy, adopted without debate at the AMA's annual meeting, says cloning for research purposes is ethical. But the policy allows doctors who oppose the practice to refuse to perform it. The measure does not support reproductive cloning [italics added] and is strong in its call for proper oversight." As far as I recall, this is line with my posts on the topic of cloning: Yes for theraputic purposes, no for reproductive puroses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The implication was clear in your comment "Seems the AMA agrees with me now, at least for research. They're coming around", which did not discount explicitly reproductive cloning. The AMA have never opposed theraputic cloning and neither have I. Our previous debate concerned reproductive cloning, which the AMA still oppose (as do I), so, what is your point? I can't help noticing that you lock the threads as soon as you've had your say. If you don't want to discuss the topic, you only have to say so. You can have the last word, and I won't respond to it if you dont want me to. <merged and reopened the thread since there is no point in two threads referring like that RadEd> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fafalone Posted June 18, 2003 Share Posted June 18, 2003 The "at least" and present participle "coming" implied that I was not talking about reproductive cloning when summarizing the story.

fafalone Posted June 18, 2003 Share Posted June 18, 2003 Because we don't need another debate on semantics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
