Scientists Claim They Cloned Humans

dustinbarbour writes "A South Korean-led research team has cloned human embryos to produce embryonic stem cells, a scientific first that promises to reignite public debate over cloning. Medical researchers hope to use cloned embryonic stem cells to someday treat diseases such as diabetes and Parkinson's. The cells potentially could create rejection-free transplant organ tissues." There's another story in the NYT.

    There are no adequate compromises when you consider it the taking of a human life.

    On another note, a lot of women regret them later and have bad dreams, suicidal thoughts, etc.

    The whole issue is terrible considering that judicious use of condoms in combination with one other form of birth control would obviate the entire issue. Ergo, it's just pathetic human laziness and lack of consideration for the consequences of our actions that causes the issue in the first place.

    It wasn't you, but micheal "sensationalism sells" who gave the story that ridiculous title. When I read it (the headline) I assumed it was just another bunch of wack-jobs like the Ralians again, but in fact this really has nothing to do with actual human cloning except in the eyes of crazy fundies like Bush.

    Which brings me to a central complaint I have about Slashdot. /. Has so many intelligent posters, and the site does nothing but ignore them. Checkout the diary section on a site like dailykos (warning, hard-core leftism) and you'll see one way that posters can really help make a site work.

    There are lots of things Slashdot could do, like allowing people to fact-check a submission (like kuro5hin's edit queue before vote queue), and so many others that could really make this site something special.

    But for whatever reason (either out of shear laziness or some kind of desire to maintain power for themselves) the people who run Slashdot have no interest in using the community as anything other then tools to filter comments. Which really sucks, since it seems that those people mostly fall into about the bottom 1/3rd intelligence/knowlageablility bracket of posters on here.
