| Message | "We have been warning against proposals of this kind for decades now. You all know our arguments against the cloning of human being. Now this proposals complete the absolufication of science as aim in itself, science as the overall authority, science as higher and of greater value than human being or the value of life. That is not only very ignorant, this is dangerous. I call on all parties to vote against this devaluation of human being for the sake of a cold rational system as justification in itself" Adam Horvitz, party leader |
