Message | Mr. Speaker, While the UPR is committed to making sure Rutania remains Artania's leading nation in terms of biotechnology, we do not agree with the idea of cloning. We will debate this bill internally for sometime before making a decision. Marta Wilson UPR Congressional Leader |

Message | Mr. Speaker, This bill will lead to MAD scientists CLONING human beings (create life) in a lab in order to make PROFIT or for his/her personal SATISFACTION. --CWFP Spokesman |

Message | Mr. Speaker, Human cloning would simplify the business of organ transplant. It would improve medical techniques and broaden our medical and biological knowledge. Allowing human cloning would be a boon to Rutanian medicine and to the Rutanians who will benefit from it. This bill, furthermore, provides for the regulation of cloning research to prevent it from developing into a perverse mad-sciency art. As a scientist, I can say that most scientists are interested in broadening human knowledge. As a scientist, I can also say that my colleagues are nothing like the cartoonish perception presented by the CWFP. Amelia Granger SS Leader |

Random fact: Cabinet ministers who disagree seriously with the head of government would usually be expected to resign. Parties within the cabinet may attempt to manoeuvre to replace the head of government though, for example by proposing a new cabinet bill or voting for an early election. |
