The more I read about the Hwang debacle, the more I see the cloning enterprise in a nutshell. Not the fraud part. But the dehumanization. One of the principle objections feminists make to human cloning is the great potential that women will be exploited for their eggs, which would be worse in “therapeutic cloning” than “reproductive cloning” because it would require hundreds of millions or billions of eggs to treat the hundreds of millions of patients in the world with degenerative conditions. Hwang’s exploitation of his laboratory team is an apt post script to the fraud story (which, of course, is still unfolding).
