Hey Syc -- I loved the Multiplicity-thing, by the way.
I think the media has also hyped up the Clonaid group -- typical to report on the "sensational" issues instead of the facts. However, I don't think it gives science a bad name, because I'd LIKE to think that most of us have the intellect to see beyond the tabloid crap.
But yeah, the issue is certainly a big one and will take many years to perfect. I just didn't want the discussion to be completely against cloning -- it seems to me to be viable science, and I sincerely hope more scientists will explore it in more detail (assuming the government would stop its meddling into issues it has no right to legislate).
Oh, and I love this exchange!
