The intentional destruction of living human embryos is unethical and unacceptable. If an embryo is dividing and developing, it is a member of the human family and deserves our respect. And destroying it is repugnant to the American public. Because it is an attack on the dignity of man. The wonderfully complex and unique design that makes each of us human should be treated with profound awe and respect, not subject to experiments by scientists, mad or otherwise.
Cloning is the way amoebas reproduce.
It was never intended for man. More ominously, cloning turns children into mere products of adult whims. That path leads to designer children, organ farms, and a growing disregard for the sanctity of human life. This is a brave new world we must not enter. As my friend Gary Bauer of the Family Research Council has observed, cloning confounds all normal understandings of father, mother, sibling, grandparent, etc.
