Kathryn, I don’t know the facts on the Meyer case, so I have no comment, but I find this statement by Wesley Smith in the post to which you link rather surprising, to say the least.

“Scientists who want to testify in favor of a ban on human cloning are warned that if they do, their careers are over, that they will be branded “anti-science” and no longer be invited to participate in seminars or write book chapters. If they don’t have tenure, they will never get it. If they do, they will be shunned, shunted to a corner and forced to teach “punishment” freshman classes, rather than their usual advanced or post grad courses. “

Oh really?

Well, who are these guys then?

“Cloning babies should be banned worldwide by the United Nations, more than 60 of the world’s leading scientific academies demanded on Monday (New Scientist, 22nd September, 2003).”
