(Seriously, though, we're doing this to try to keep other countries from developing the next "big" economic thing: bio-engineering. The Christian fascists running this country can't get their invisible "buddy in the sky" to give us the thumbs-up, so we want to piss on other countries' fires.)

I, however, recognize the danger in cloning even ONE conservative politician. This is serious, folks, serious! Joke all you want, guys.

Rather than pursuing this doubtful course, it seems we rather ought to more heavily adopt adult stem cell researchin the applicable areas. Adult stem cell research has none of the moral problems associated with embryonic stem cell research and has actually delivered on some of the claims made about it. The problem with the Bush administration is that their actions are so obviously immoral in some respects that when they put forward a claim that they are attending to some urgent moral problem, the first obvious question that comes to mind is, "What about all the other sinful things you've done?".

If the embroyos are going to be thrown away by a fertility clinic, wasted, why the hell can't we use them to ease suffering among the living? The adult stem cell excuse/answer is a dodge. Adult stem cells are much less flexible than the infant stem cells being thrown away every day in fertility clinics.

I just happen think it's very immoral to let potential cures for real diseases swirl down the fertility lab drain because of superstition.

It would actually promote peace in the world because then women would never again have to ask a man the potentially volatile, anger-inducing question, "Do these pants make my ass look big?" It just makes so much sense. I fully support the right for every woman to have a clone.

I can't believe you people! Don't you realize the incredible danger in cloning? I mean, Senator Palpatine bin Laden could jeopardize the Trade Federation, of which Halliburton is a major contributor. It would have major ramifications for both Baghdad and Coruscant. Dolly and C.C. are planning an attack on Naboo as we speak! Clearly, this is all tied to Lucas' push to fund the "Star Wars" defense initiative. Now, I see why Bush is against cloning, but, I have no idea what his midachlorian count is. Or, wait, isn't Cheney the Phantom Menace? Er, I am so confused, now... What?!? I can’t believe you people! Don’t you realize the incredible danger in cloning?

As far as I'm concerned, any one forcing someone to do, or not do something, is the one acting like God. When Bush tells the world that they shouldn't permit cloning because it is against God's will, what the world hears is "God tells you, to do what I, George Bush, say". And he wonders why the world hates him. Our stupid laws restricting research only insures that other countries, not hamstrung by religeous zealots, will get our scientists and research dollars.
