If MemeStreams had higher visibility, it might have been mentioned in this article. It has been weeks since President Bush's State of the Union speech, and I have not heard any outcry over his policy statement on cloning: "Tonight I ask you to pass legislation to prohibit the most egregious abuses of medical research: human cloning in all its forms." I can only guess that this means the public doesn't care, or doesn't understand what Mr. Bush means by this, or agrees with his nonsensical concept of what "human" means, or that somehow the stem cell scandal in South Korea has led to widespread agreement that we should just give up on such research. Any of these possibilities would be a mistake, not just for American science, but for the very human life the president seeks to protect. It's a theoretical ban in the first place, like banning marriage between robots.
Perhaps it was President Bush who first said, "If popular culture has taught us anything, it is that someday mankind must face and destroy the growing robot menace." Little did we know then that the menace is marriage. But really, who are we to stand between two robots and their happiness? All Clones Are Not the Same |
