Ted Kennedy ripped Romney on cloning yesterday. Said Kennedy, according to the Boston Globe:

”Banning it or prohibiting it, making it illegal, would be a major mistake,” Kennedy said in an interview with the Globe. ”It’s a big opportunity. We are in the life science moment of research on this planet. This is the time, and now is the moment, and Massachusetts is the place.”

It’d be nice if some brave Dems in the statehouse would really take a look at the science—and the promise that alternatives to embryonic-stem-cell research and cloning and harvesting embryos hold, comparatively.
