Message | While we believe certain regulations are required to ensure the technology isn't misused, we feel that making all forms illegal will not benefit our scientific and medical progress. |
Date | 16:59:17, February 15, 2007 CET | From | Moderate Republican Party | To | Debating the Human Cloning Ban |
Message | Banning the cloning of humans will not harm scientific or medical progress. We do not need human clones for scientific research. We find it both immoral and inhumane to use human clones as "lab rats." |
Date | 18:04:22, February 15, 2007 CET | From | Jakanian Liberal Socialists | To | Debating the Human Cloning Ban |
Message | Cloning human tissue opens up many new avenues of medical treatment, such as the production of new organs and tissues for the sick. It could one day eliminate transplant complications and cure diseases we currently don't know how to deal with. If you think this is going to illegalise science-fiction style copies of complete, living, thinking people, then you're a few steps away from reality. |
Date | 21:21:31, February 15, 2007 CET | From | United Democrats of Jakania | To | Debating the Human Cloning Ban |
Message | This is another one of those uneasy topics that a persons view on it is mainly based on morals |
Date | 22:03:49, February 15, 2007 CET | From | Jakanian Liberal Socialists | To | Debating the Human Cloning Ban |
Message | Then why must the government dictate to the people that it's wrong? |
Date | 20:47:42, February 18, 2007 CET | From | Moderate Republican Party | To | Debating the Human Cloning Ban |
Message | This bill bans the cloning of human beings as a whole and not the cloning of individual human tissue. |
Date | 00:36:27, February 19, 2007 CET | From | Scientific Libertarian Party | To | Debating the Human Cloning Ban |
Message | We oppose any and all restrictions on scientific progress. |
