Just passes

I dont recall any cellar discussions regarding cloning, and I would be interested to hear your P.O.V's.

I think this kind of research is important. If it weren't for stem cell research, my aunt would be dead now. She had leukaemia and thanks to her having the courage to try and new technique involving stem cells being removed, altered and then replaced in her body she is alive and well today.

I am also in favour of embryonic stem cell research because there is no moral issue here for me. I am pro abortion so it would hypocrisy for me to be against embryonic stem cell research.

This is cause for much celebration and inebriation, seriously, I'm going to be toasting to this on the weekend. We in the US might have to wait a little longer but I knew this would come sooner or later. I think the strict 14 day limit is a little premature though, I think they're trying to cover their ass so no pictures leak out of clones that look like humans.

Missouri just passed - barely - an Amendment which will allow any Federally authorized stem cell research to be conducted in Missouri. The opponents, largely Right to life organizations, most of whom happen to also be Republican supporters, fought it by screaming about indiscriminate harvesting of eggs and exploitation of women, saying that it would lead to human cloning paid for with public funds, and the inevitable comparison to abortion.

OH for pete's sake, let's hope they don't clone mrnoodle.

The "debate" over this kind of research runs toward the sci-fi side...

Trilby · 11-08-2006, 01:57 PM

I think it's a grrrrreat idea.

and so does my clone.

xoxoxoBruce · 11-08-2006, 02:42 PM

I want to be cloned so I can have a copy. That way I could go screw myself, as so many have requested.

Long ago, on TheOnion, they had an infographic on wacky Tom Cruise triva. One was: Had self cloned, so he can fellate self.

Happy Monkey · 11-08-2006, 02:45 PM

Anyone see "The Prestige"? Good movie.

Trilby · 11-08-2006, 02:48 PM

NO! Don't say ANYTHING MORE! I'm gonna see it this weekend.

Happy Monkey · 11-08-2006, 04:10 PM

You'll enjoy it.

Els and I went to see The Prestige this past weekend and really enjoyed it. We had it mostly figured out by the end, but it was pretty good.

I voted for the stem cell research yesterday and was glad that it passed. I think that a great many people can potentially be healed in the future, but we have to have the tools. I am personally against cloning in the sense of "The Island", however.

Another billboard that the antis had out during the campaign season said something along the lines of, "If Prop 2 Passes, Women Will be Selling Their Eggs".

Gosh. Can anyone tell me why they should *not* sell their eggs if they want to? I mean, they belong to them, don't they? Or have I missed something about egg selling?
