Certainly going to be pleasant to see the 'slippery slope' arguement against cloning put to the ultimate test. Which will potentially provide the ultimate counter arguement against the slippery slope arguement against various other things, such as euthanasia.

I want to see how things get when there's an obvious line and yet crossing it would also bring much-helpful benefits. There's a still a point to argue about 'when does an embryo become life? And, should 'potential to become a living organism' be valid? He he.

Not quite. Potential here would be like 'without intervention'. Then again, could the embryo survive without some aid? .. Then again, isn't giving aid to a potential life a moral requirement?<br><br>And Giz, that view makes normal intercourse into 'genocide', too.

Although, it could be argued that it's genocide to do things in a way that produces no way of producing a living organism, but 1 living organism > infinite potential organisms, I suppose
