You might be the type to run chemistry experiments in the basement or perhaps build a seismograph in the garage. And please keep sending us your opinions about all our articles. As a director of a support and advocacy group for infertility patients, I must point out that Wilmut is wrong. About 15 percent of humans are infertile, and most cannot be helped to have children who are biologically their own by any current medical technique. Cloning technology, once it is reasonably safe, will offer a new and legitimate way for infertile people to have their own genetic children.
Reproductive freedom means much more than just the right to an abortion.
Whether and how John and Mary Smith have a child is a private decision for them alone, not a political decision to be made by politicians or bureaucrats based on public opinion polls. A bit of an exaggeration, I thought. Another cancer beaten by modern science. If anything, we are just holding the beast at bay, and there are casualties. It certainly wasn't our intention to mislead readers with our cover headline, and we regret if anyone interpreted it to mean the cancer had been cured.
