Technological innovation is indeed important to economic growth and the enhancement of human possibilities.
From Leon Kass
Cloning represents a very clear, powerful, and immediate example in which we are in danger of turning procreation into manufacture.
If you have easy self-contentment, you might have a very, very cheap source of happiness.
In cloning, in contrast, reproduction is asexual - the cloned child is the product not of two but of one.
As bad as it might be to destroy a creature made in God's image, it might be very much worse to be creating them after images of one's own.
One should proceed with caution. We may simply not be wise enough to do some of the kinds of engineering things that people are talking about doing.
The benefits of biomedical progress are obvious, clear, and powerful. The hazards are much less well appreciated.
There is a lot of hype and fear about this much-talked-about prospect of designer babies.
In the case of abortion, one pits the life of the fetus against the interests of the pregnant woman.
If one is seriously interested in preventing reproductive cloning, one must stop the process before it starts.
