Yeah, its the first news story on the main page

 

I say good. Cloning will happen regardless of if we ban it; and do we really want something like this to be handled by the black market?

I never noticed a news page, sorry about htat ^__^

 

Yes, Id have to agree on what you say faflone. But, what do you mean black market? its not everyday someone can just clone(not clone bacteria wise) an embryo.

I agree, legalizing cloning would subject it to federal mandates which would at least attempt to keep it fairly regulated.

 

I say great.

[fafalone]

The technology will get to the point where the black market can clone it, much as they do illegal organ sales and transplants with people who cannot use the legal system.

If you can't beat them, join them.

 

I say good for legalizing for the exact same reason - but I must add that we - as human society - HAVE to make STRONG organizations who will make sure we don't take cloning too far, and that Ethical subjects are always open for debate and inquiries.

 

Other than that, I just find this matter scarey in general.
