While everybody talks about how fundamentalists and other religious people are supposed to be in the way of scientific advances, it is actually liberals who are fanatically anti-science today. For every active, productive scientist who is trying to make human life longer and better, there are several lawyers, several bureaucrats, and now some Official Ethicists to regulate them. It sounds wonderful to me. This new process uses the new technology of cloning, but it does not produce new human beings. I get liver cancer.
Liver cancer is usually fatal.
But with this technology, I give some cells from my own body, and they are put into the center of a cow cell, and the result is that I end up with a new liver. I am not too sure. Nobody objects to saving lives by transplanting animal organs. I am making a new part of me. Conservatives have allowed the Food and Drug Administration to provide thousands of bureaucrats with a cushy living by slowing scientific progress as much as they possibly can, all in the name of the public good.
