Human cloning per se isn’t wrong. Twins are natural clones. The problem is treating embryos as material just to satisfy people’s desires. When the unborn are not treated with the respect they deserve as human beings massive defects and miscarriages are ignored. Famed cloning scientist Dr. Ian Wilmut is even opposed to human cloning.

Old-school country star Charlie Pride’s newest CD will be on the technological cutting edge. The tracks are supposedly copy-proof. That means they can’t be ripped and “shared” on Napster.
Will this work? Only in the short-run until the gang over at Slashdot develops a work around.
Talal Shamoon even says copy-protected CDs are “not a long-term solution” […]
California utility regulators are taking a progressive step by letting the two utilities awash in $13 billion of debt raise their electricity rates. While so-called consumer advocacy groups are saying it’s a rip-off, the fact is Pacific Gas and Electric Co. and Southern California Edison Co. are losing a fortune by selling electricity below […]
The Vancouver Grizzlies (a horrible, truly awful name for a team) wants to move to Memphis. The rumor is that Federal Express is interested not only in buying naming rights to the arena, but in buying naming rights to the team and calling them the Memphis Express.
The idea works well in this case because Memphis […]
Like Sen. Lieberman (D-CT), Larry Kudlow wants immediate tax relief, but like me, he wants a tax rate cut.
The cash-rebate plan is primarily aimed at temporarily bolstering consumer spending. Ironically, personal-consumption expenditures are actually the strongest part of today’s sagging economy. For example, in last year’s fourth quarter, inflation-adjusted consumer spending increased at a 4.75% […]
Tunku Varadarajan chastizes the Murdochs for toting water for the Chinese communists. He also thinks the Chinese are playing the Murdochs and not vice versa:
But China is run by sophisticated tyrants. They see the use of people like Messrs. Murdoch–père et fils–and will use them. They are not taken in by the flattery, the unctuousness, […]
More great news for my stock portfolio: Cisco CEO John Chambers sees a U.S. economic downturn lasting at least three quarters.
A tax cut would be nice. I’d even accept the $300 per worker rebate Sen. Joe Lieberman (D-CT) is proposing, but an across-the-board tax rate cut would still be needed. That would offer the best […]
President Bush is a true believer in partial privatization of Social Security.
With Treasury Secretary Paul O’Neill and the administration’s other economic policymakers less than enthusiastic, the campaign proposal seemed to be drifting off the table. But the president himself insisted that Social Security reform must follow passage of tax reduction.
Notice no reports of requests for […]
If News Corp’s future lies with a lap dog like James Murdoch, then don’t ever count me as a future stockholder. It’s just another example of a businessman giving capitalism a bad name.

A free trade deal with Australia would be great, but forget about what Collin Powell said that “it takes quite a while to put such an agreement together and then to present it to our respective legislatures.” The U.S. Congress should pass a bill unilaterally removing all tariffs with Austrialia and President Bush should sign […]
David Horowitz has certainly stirred up lots of free publicity and inspired many inches in op-ed pages over his ad opposing slavery reparations. He has also exposed the thought police on some college campuses who can’t tolerate opposing opinions. Yes, Political Correctness is alive and well at some universities. The editor of the Daily Californian […]
