Morally challenged cloning research

The headline was buried in the Jan. 21 NewScience article reporting another potential scandal in the cloning world.
This one involved claims made in 2003 by researcher Hui-Zhen Sheng of China, who reported he had successfully harvested embryonic stem cells from rabbit-human embryos.
Scientists now wary after being duped by fallen clone king Hwang Woo-Suk are sounding the alarm on Sheng, because no one has been able to duplicate his work.
Scientists did not sound the alarm three years ago when Sheng inserted human cells into rabbit eggs. It only matters now whether Sheng lied about the products of that conception.
In other words, the means weren’t called into account, just the ends.
ESCR and cloning researchers say they are an ethical bunch. For instance…

Quote of the Day

by Kelli

Bill O’Reilly: But it’s a more permissive culture, you know… unfettered abortion, OK, for any reason, up until the birth process. There’s a struggle.

And the struggle is between, usually, people of faith and the secular progressives. And the secular progressives have the media in their pocket, so they’re powerful.

Charles Krauthammer: Look… I would start with a proposition that, somehow… the permissiveness is radically increasing.

I would say, one of the more remarkable phenomenon of the last 30 years is the increase in opposition to abortion among the young people. You would have thought, together with other trends, yes, the permissiveness on drugs and other stuff and on sex and all that, that you would get an increase in the lassitude for permissiveness about abortion.

But it’s the reverse. I think there has been an interesting relationship between the new sides, the imaging, the sonograms, the idea of the fetus as a person and actual increase in resistance.

~ Transcript from a recent broadcast of Fox’s The O’Reilly Factor, in which columnist and pundit Charles Krauthammer notes a counter-cultural movement in the arena of abortion in America, Fox News, December 10
