profoundly wrong

Today President Obama called cloning "profoundly wrong", which made me wonder about how that works out in the moral calculus.

Ending the life of a baby to collect stem cell tissue is apparently not profoundly wrong, but cloning a baby -- or me for that matter -- to do anything with it (collect stem cells, make me a new heart for my bum ticker, get skin grafts in case I burn myself, etc.) is "profoundly wrong".

See -- I think all of it is an abomination. All of is it tantamount to infanticidal cannibalism. But I have a point of reference for saying that -- what's Obama's point of reference?

DISCLAIMER!

Here's the part where I try to avoid getting sued ...

As you undoubtedly noticed, I like comics. I wouldn't call myself a "fan boy" because I don't give a flying FOOM what they are worth. That said, almost all the images on my blog are scanned from comics I own -- so they are scanned from comics I own and are used under what I assume is the basic tenets of "fair use" under copyright law. It would be frankly impossible to tell you where each images comes from specifically.

Others are © and/or ® DC Comics, which is an arm of Time/Warner, and not only are all rights reserved but they are a little jealous about it, so if I get "the letter" from them, those images are just going to turn into blank spots until I configure out what to do about that.

All other images not covered by this disclaimer are the property of their respective owners, and if you are one of those people and you see your image on my blog, tell me what you want me to do about it and I will. No sense making people angry.

Hope that helps.
