No prob Doug. It takes a lot to get me upset...and what you posted didn't upset me in the least. If it's one thing I do is respect others opinions and I expect the same from others (though not everyone does unfortunately...I am not saying anyone here doesn't). I normally don't get this involved in debates...as I see them mostly as 'no-wins' (like trying to beat a dead horse to death ya know?).
Its actually hard for me to keep talking about it without seeming to contradict myself. I think this is mainly because I think too much into the issue and look at both sides of the coin as it were. I suppose it is a unique trait of mine and one of the reasons why I am seem so 'uncaring' at times (I really do think I am an emotionless rock sometimes...ugh).
Yes I agree that this issue can be rather confusing...my head goes in many directions at once on topics like this so its hard to formulate an opinion. I often end up taking a neutral stance and just stay out of it. Example: Abortion: One the one hand I see it as a method of population control, but should be used only in cases of rape, incest, and health. On the other...it is still denying a new life from experiencing the wonders (and terrors) of the world...I mean...if the female didn't want the child there is always putting it up for adoption for crying out loud!
(now I was just using that as an example...I wasn't opening it up for debate!)
See what I mean? It makes my head hurt trying to figure what to say on a topic like this...
Blah...I got off topic...sorry. But before I leave...
Ditto to what Steve said...PLEASE don't bring religion into this debate! It would only end up in a religious debate and we are here to debate cloning not religion...
