Very good points. Thanks for the clarification.

"My point that the risk of an unhappy outcome from mad-scientist scenario is less if we do cloning research here at home."

Success in the mad scientist scenario is not success in the sense of success for humanity as I think of it. Its a bad sci-fi movie theme.

Doing some work at home to maintain a knowledgeable team of research advisors and to keep abreast with developments in, for example, nerve cell regeneration seems to have some positive benefits.

I am still undecided. I can imagine benefits but the risks at this point seem to far out weight the benefits. Thus I am in favour of the typical position of the FDA. That is, if someone else does go ahead and do it and we see sufficient safe gaurds we can reconsider the issue.
