The C-word debate

February 28, 2005

Robert Novak: The hinge of history sums up the cloning debate in Massachusetts nicely. The lines coming out of Massachusetts scientists and politicians would have the general reader think that being against cloning is being against cures for any disease. They've moved the arguement from foundational ethical/moral decisions to arguements about the desire to see the paralyzed walk and the old age "with dignity" (equating Alzheizmer's patients with losing their dignity - preparing the ground for another debate - euthansia). Read the article - its a great summation of a critical debate.
