Remember, the pro human cloning side has been continually shifting the

terms of the debate and changing definitions. Only 4 years ago, they

were proclaiming loudly that ALL they wanted was access to leftover IVF

embryos that were going to be tossed out anyway. As soon as Pres. Bush

made his “compromise” funding decision, that story began to change.

Soon, “therapeutic cloning” was touted as the key to curing Uncle

Charlie’s Parkinson’s. When that didn’t sell, advocates dropped the

“C-word” and started calling it “somatic cell nuclear transfer for stem

cells,” being careful to continue to call the same procedure “cloning”

when referencing using the technology to bring a baby into the world.

Then, SCNT became simply embryonic stem cell research. Thus, Ron Reagan

touted cloning at the Democrat Convention, but called it embryonic stem

cell research. Now it is just stem cell research.

And now, they claim that SCNT does not make a human embryo. It just

makes a bunch of cells.

This could be blown away in the flash of an eye, except the media is

like a dancing partner following the lead of the biotech ideologues.
