Romney didn’t have to bother to fight cloning at Harvard. His doing so helped advance an important debate — keep it going, without silently succumbing to a Brave New World. We’ve seen the fruits of those who cared to fight this Thanksgiving — scientists and the rest of us both. Losing a fight on cloning never struck me as an obvious pander to the pro-lifers. He learned about the issue — which hit close to home, his beloved wife, Ann, has MS — and he took it on honestly and intelligently. And learned something very important about the culture of life along the way.
