So you'd rather insult me than address the points I've made?

Fine.

What have you said that makes your argument powerful or persuasive? You've hinted at some doomsday scenario, and brought up an enviromentalist argument against medical technology extending human life, but not much more.

You've also talked of government MANDATED cloning, which seems odd as I've never heard anyone bring up that idea. You also have argued from the philosophical view that if you ban research into something, someone evil won't continue research and apply it in an evil manner.

Heard of the Soviet Union?

At least MHG went through a long list of points. I'll read them in a few minutes.

It's not an environmentalist arguement it's an economic arguement. Since social security is a pyramid scheme how do we pay for prolonging life beyond a persons ability to not just become a parasite off the young and productive ? We are at the point now where taxes, and the cost of living are creating negative population growth in industrialized economies. The human race is heading a million miles an hour into a brick wall and no one wants to even talk about it.
