| Message | Creating 100% compatible transplant organs is "pointless"? How bound to archaic religious clat-trap can you get? |

| Message | Mother nature created us and thats the way it should stay. We dont need humans creating humans from chemicals, syringes and test tubes! Once again, we are NOT a religious party! Just because we want people to express their opinions about how life began doesnt mean were fantatics! |

| Message | This isn't about opinons on the origins of life, this is about researching technologies that OTHER nations already are doing. We risk becoming left behind technologicly if we don't conduct our own REGULATED research that will ensure that Cloning will be used for Therapeutic uses (like Transplant Organs that have zero risk of rejection for example), and not for created a "Brave New World". And since it is legal to use artificially insemination to conceive, technically children ARE being grown in test tubes as we speak. So where is the LOGIC for your opposition? |

| Message | We didnt push the bill through to artificially concieve children, so how are we the ones to blame? Also, we dont give a wooden nickle what other nations are doing! Deltaria hates the Quanzarians, but do we? No. Other nations are also ruled by fascists who want to kill people, but are we? No. Other nations also do things very differently, and if they didnt, we would pretty much be all the same nation! People die, that is nature. Deal with it. |

| Message | The CSP was pointing out that since Artifical Insemination is in essence "test-tube babies" and that society hasn't been destroyed by "super-kids" it is foolish to oppose cloning on the grounds of "It will Destroy Society". And you better care what other nations are doing, because some of them have Expasionist Policies and Cobura IS a nice piece of real estate... Cloning isn't the cure for death, but it is a step in the right direction, and why shouldn't humanity seize control of it's own evolution, it's own destiny? Why let "nature" or "fate" control where we go on the evolutionary chain when we can do a better job? |

| Message | Were not opposing cloning because it will destroy society, were opposing it because we believe it has no real benefit. We view it as un-natural, theirfor, we will oppose. Were quite aware of how other nations and thier imperial ways, but dont fear, well all be wiped out in the nuclear war or suffer a horrible and slow death by poisons that will deform our children for generations to come. |

| Date | 07:34:19, November 09, 2005 CET | From | Gizmo Vulva League | To | Debating the Regulated Cloning Research Act |
| Message | We feel that the artificial insemination is a poor backing for cloning. It is natural to have children, though artificial insemination is a different way of meeting that goal. It still in essence is a woman having a baby. Cloning is not needed. There are too many people in the world and some just need to die. Its a natural process. It has to happened to everyone. Don't create cloning to prevent it from happening. Get over the anger and fear of yourself and others dying... except it! Plus! if people are gonna be artificially inseminating themselves we'll need the natural process of death to make room for these "unnatural super kids" |
