Typical liberal thinking.

Laws do little to stop action. Just because you make a law against something, it doesn't mean you're going to stop it (in fact, you might encourage it).

Wait, what reason?

It is not a luddite attitude that makes me scared about this area, it's the fact that (as scifi as this sounds) it could be introduced by the Chinese gov't (or heck, our own) as a new military. Can you imagine how crazy that would be? These are questions that are actually fully legit right now since we haven't decided the repercussions of what we're doing now. It's similar to cloning, we don't want to do something that our children's children will regret.
