First Human Clone Eight Weeks Along

Vegeta99 writes "An Italian researcher is claiming ground-breaking progress, and has successfully cloned a human, and the mother is now 8 weeks pregnant, according to this article. Now how long until I can buy my own clone?" It's worth noting that the Roman medical associations bioethicists denied Dr. Antinori permission to proceed with these experiments last month. So doing the math, Rome was a little late... If the pregnancy continues without miscarriage, the tyke may share a birthday with Marie Curie

Re:Relaxing moral views

[glitch23]

We already kill babies whether they are outside of the mother or not. We already allow numerous variations of the act of sex on television. We allow kids to be taught sex education when they are 10 years old. Since when has the protection of our high moral standards ever been an issue before based on the previous statements? Obviously the government and media don't care about our standards. All the above has happened in the last 50 years or less. I'd guess it won't take 4 generations to get to the point you describe above. I'm guessing your 4 year guess will be more on target.

We already think we are allowed to kill a human at any stage in the life of that human. Why not go a step further and try to be even more like God and create humans at will without any need for the usual, initial 2 human interaction (sex)?
