To: End The Hypocrisy
I don't understand the hysteria regarding cloning. Medical progress continues through research and development. If it is perfected, you can clone yourself, or NOT, if you have a moral or other objections? So, why the clergy, or the politicians are interfering with medical research?
Today, there is a Lasik operation on the eyes that takes 10 minutes, and you never need glasses for the rest of your life. Less than 10% of the people took advantage of that. The hysteria about cloning is simply caused by a bunch of ignorant science fiction type writers. Just remember, we could have had 75% of our electric power from nuclear, and became energy independent 25 years ago if it was not for idiots who read science fiction and tell the stupid population that we are going to glow in the dark from the radiation exposure. France gets 75% of its power from nuclear energy, and it has been proven safe for many generations. Journalists, who flunked science in high school, have no business to dictate opinions on the unsuspected masses.

Fundraising and attention-seeking, perhaps?

I wasn't aware that France's percentage is so high, although Taiwan's reportedly is comparable. Regardless, your example helps demonstrate how OTHER countries will take the lead and sell services to our citizens if companies in the USA don't.
