12/27/2002 07:19:00 PM | Jared Alessandroni Cloning That stuff's funny. That religion is certainly not on my list, but if the Faith Based Initiative keeps on going through as sneakily as it has, it would be great if Bishop Boisselier and her flock were to find a way to get money from it. While I'm entirely opposed to the Faith Based Initiative, I'm not as disturbed by cloning. I mean, it's playing God and all that, if you believe there is such a beast you can play - I do - but we play God all the time. It seems funny to draw the line at copying life, when we, and by we I'm referring to our country and representative government, seem to be so set on destroying it all the time. At least this is productive. I feel like it's similar to the anti-abortion people - you have people who get so worked up over these things that at least make sense to some people, but no one's running around putting away gun racks or making peace with all these countries we're dicking. As for stem-cell research, blocking is even more inane, but the argument against all out cloning - and if the Raelians really did do it, more power to 'em - is the same. D'oh, you're playing God.... I'm sure God or whatever is really pleased about this whole war and ignorance of the AIDS crisis and such - I'm sure it gets her all giddy - and I'm sure that in contrast, cloning one poor baby girl really sits up there on her list. If anything, Bush is already serving as our punishment. perma link |
