Perhaps you could sympathize with those who seek to replace a dead child with a copy, or to copy a parent or a relative or even a celebrity.

We know next to nothing of what we’re going to know in 20 or 50 years.

I have nothing against respecting people who lived before, but we have no responsibility toward them.

I don’t like being forced to reduce my thoughts to sound bites.

We may simply not be wise enough to do some of the kinds of engineering things that people are talking about doing.

I don’t believe that efforts to prohibit only so-called reproductive cloning can be successful.
