| Message | The cloning kills it for me. If you didn't put in the cloning article, you would have had my support. |
| Date | 18:11:00, March 09, 2006 CET | From | The New Order Party | To | Debating the ScienceTechnology/Retirement Reform |
| Message | In relation to article 1, the use of testing on animals for the purpose of cosmetics is wholly usuitable, the fact that we should allow even regulated testing on animals to futher the beautification and vanity of humans is wrong through and through. Cloning in it's self should be abolished as it is playing with the natural order of civillisation. lowering the retirement age to 60 could have dire consequences on the economy that is an extra 5 years by which pensions have to be paid, and an extra 5 years lost of productivity in the population. |

| Message | On the other hand, I said that testing would be regulated. We aren't talking poking monkies with sticks here. I'm glad you agree on cloning. As for the retirement age, by backing it you might well win popular support. |
