My Clone's a Real Prick!

Britain just authorized the cloning of human embryos. Why you'd want extra copies of pasty Brits with crappy teeth is beyond me... It's not like they're going to keep an extra Prince Charles in formaldehyde for spare parts, but they are, along with South Korea, choosing to err on the side of science by moving forward with stem cell research. The potential for this science is dramatic and the US is severely falling behind because of the Bush administration's severe restrictions. On a positive note, Bush has earmarked $30 million to find the remains of Noah's Arc.

The US economy cannot afford to disable scientific research. Since we moved away from manufacturing and agriculture towards a service and intellectual-capital based economy, we rely on scientific advancement to fuel top industries such as technology, medicine and porn. We must nourish science, not impair it. This is exactly how empires fall, by moving away from what made them great. Anyone seen Pompeii lately?
