Which should I choose?
« on: January 13, 2007, 09:21:56 PM »
The Issue
Scientists using cloned human embryos for research are on the verge of a medical breakthrough.

The Debate
"It's really very exciting," says lab head Max O'Bannon. "Until now, we've kept very quiet, to avoid being targeted by lunatic fringe groups who for some reason think it's wrong to clone human embryos. It's too early to promise anything, but we hope that one day we will have genetic cures for a whole range of debilitating illnesses. I certainly hope the government will support our work."

or

"Well, if you have to be part of a lunatic fringe group to object to this barbaric practice, I'm a lunatic," says placard-waving protestor Pip O'Bannon. "Of course it would be nice to cure these unnamed diseases, but at what cost? They're messing with the sanctity of human life. It's wrong, and the lab should be shut down immediately."

I chosed to allow it.

In RL, I´d say not for medical purposes but I´d allow it. In NS, there´s sadly
only a stereotypical "Yes" and "No".

Allowing for the genetics opens up a sleu of other issues possible, including the genetic manipulation of your orphans into military machines (vastly increasing military budget). The other option reduces civil rights.

Or you can dismiss things that don't suit you.

When the government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny.

Tyrants from Hitler to Mao to Stalin have sought to disarm their own citizens, for the simple reason that unarmed people are easier to control.
