Sounds exactly right. By the way, are you interested in buying a horse whip factory?
When extrapolating future high technology endeavors it doesn't make sense to try to calculate cost/benefit scenarios with today's technology. Although it's possible that our technological abilities will remain static it's a low probability given the constant advancements made in technology.
Why send humans into space?
1. To learn how to live in space
2. To ensure the survival of our species
3. Because it's nice to have some other purpose in life then eating, sleeping and excreting
4. Because I don't want to be wearing metaphorical donkey ears as a large asteroid or comet impacts our planet
Why will only the rich be able to afford gene engineered kids? This type of research could do away with heart disease, many cancers, old age etc. In light of this your luddite views are unseemly if not immoral. Also, I hope you'll be honorable enough to decline any medical procedure developed through this type of research. Because if research is slowed because of people with your views you will have taken the choice from others.
If the gap between research and treatment is artifically lengthened, what resposibility will you have for those who die between the possible treatment date and actual treatment date. It's funny how easy it is to depend on others to supply the courage for your convictions.
Why is Reproductive cloning bad? I have yet to hear a coherent argument against it. What will the existence of a clone do? Cause the breakdown of time and space. The fact is a clone would be no different than a twin, which by the way are certainly considered separate legal entities, no issue there.
