The ethics of cloning and genetic manipulation...

[Quinn]

I thought I would start a thread devoted to this, since another thread seemed to be drifting this way...

Personally I am all for cloning and genetic modification, provided a. ethics laws keep this area of research squarely in the public domain (ie. a minimal amount of patenting of genetic information), and b. the sanctity of natural life is respected, be it human or of other animals (ie. no gratuitous cloning for entertainment, private gain, it should remain strictly for the purposes of research and the gain of common society).
