There are always controversial issues of the time, the only difference is that as we increasingly develop, we start to realize how stupid these issues are.  Plus, the Internet and other media allow us to be even more interconnected.
If we "went back into the trees," we'd still have problems, they would just be more on the level of "You stole my banana" rather than "You infiltrated my country with a covert ops squad and stole my banana."

Without cloning of some kind we'll never have replicators. I believe it's a technological advance, which must be closely regulated and not used for the reproduction of humans.

From MSNBC:
| Quote: | Another side of stem cells: President Bush has made quite a splash in the stem-cell debate with his repeated veto threats and his visits to children who started out as "adopted" frozen embryos. But the proponents of embryonic stem-cell research say objections similar to the ones the president has voiced were made before � about those very frozen embryos that turned out so well. In fact, researchers hope they will someday be able to do without the egg cells or embryos, and transform a patient's own cells into the needed stem cells.
"We think we can do this without the egg altogether. But I think that we need to pursue all these avenues because we've been fooled in the past," Robert Lanza of Advanced Cell Technology told Reuters. "Ultimately, we hope to take a cell from the body � say, from the skin or a cheek swab � and turn it directly into the tissue the patient needs. This is known as 'transdifferentiation.'" |
