<<as usual, IP, I have no idea what you're talking about...>>
Sigh. I didn't want to mention Daschle at all, and I only did so in order to make myself clear.
I noticed the headline and article in the Times, this morning. This afternoon, I was reading the Supreme Court opinion in Roe v. Wade. The first quotes Daschle, the second was written by Blackmun. The important thing was the years: 1973/2001. I simply find it astonishing that the subject of banning human cloning could appear outside science fiction. What a change! What a short time! Blackmun's certainty, upon which he bases a part of his reasoning, that pregnancy will always remain necessary to the survival of the species... . I realize this borders on an Empathy-style morass, but--I just find the fact of the headline itself remarkable.
