| Message | Without touching on the obvious immorality and dubious nature of human cloning let us instead discuss the proposition for space exploration. Unregulated space exploration is simply a time bomb waiting to explode. Regulation is necessary to ensure safety and quality standards. Space is a dangerous place and we must protect our scientists, our astronauts, and our explorers by providing only the best quality equipment. The only way to do this is to regulate space exploration. -Roger Evars, COM Party Leader |
| Date | 16:36:20, April 07, 2008 CET | From | Democratic Capitalist Delegation | To | Debating the Technology Reform |
| Message | We agree with the COM party in that the regulation of space exploration is an issue of public safety, and so calls for government intervention. In regards to human cloning, we are very weary of this issue, as we believe it is a pandora's box. Until more is known about the long term benefits and drawbacks of cloning, we cannot support its legalization on humans James Lott Chairman Democratic Capitalist Delegation. |

| Message | Further information is necessary on cloning. We propose the issue is tabled and revisited in no less than 20 years time. -Thorden Raxney |
