Many people, particularly people with a religious viewpoint, think scientists should not be fooling around with something so basic as reproduction. To some cloning is an abomination. More recently a woman who had been using fertility drugs gave birth to four boys and three girls at one time. At this writing the hospital has labeled six of the newborns in serious condition and one in critical condition. I hear a clamor, but not the clamor I was expecting.
People are overjoyed and are showering gifts on the new brood.
I just heard they have been offered free disposable diapers for life by one well-known producer of such products. The public on the whole seems to be taking great pride in the idea that people can mass produce themselves with the use of drugs, even if a few of the babies die afterward. The father has asked that people around the world pray that the seven children all survive and at this writing it looks like it will be a close thing. The babies have underdeveloped lungs as a result of the process. Nobody asked for prayer that the cloned sheep would survive and had the scientists been foolish enough to ask for it, they would have just been derided.
