| Message | NEVER! Who are you to force "ethics" upon someone else? Cloning can be used to do infinite things, from creating new body parts, to creating new creatures, even creating new PEOPLE! Clones could make our lives so much better, in so many ways. Regulating clones would severly hamper our potential. |

| Message | I would approve the formation of a small government agency to approve cloning research on a case-by-case basis (obviously Utagia Communal Medical School is going to be allowed more dangerous research than Bob and Joe's EZ-Clone, because of the risk involved and Utagia Communal's better access to facilities and better trained professionals) but i will not stand up for flat-out restrictions. And even if there were to be restrictions, they would have to be for safety reasons (as it is still a new feild, the risks are unknown, but chances are, there are some) and not moral ones. |

| Message | Easy this is to make sure that cloning is ethical. In way are we proposing to outlaw cloning. It is still legal under this bill. |

| Date | 00:07:52, May 26, 2005 CET | From | Social Calvinist Unionist Party | To | Debating the Ethics in Cloning |
| Message | Never never never never. Cloning does far more harm than it does good. I don't care what your "religion" says, cloning = good! |

| Message | Crap. I meant farm more good than it does harm. :P |

| Message | Is there any way to make this a local issue? If so then we'd support it. |
| Date | 05:26:17, May 26, 2005 CET | From | House of Thompson | To | Debating the Ethics in Cloning |
| Message | No we are NOT banning cloning. All we are doing is to making it regulated. Why are people thinking this bill will ban cloning? |

| Message | Well, you did say "In way we are proposing to outlaw cloning." |
