"Bush's position seems utterly Luddite to many..." I didn't like his first comment a year ago where he suggested that we could live with the risks to human beings in order to advance science. I don't think he feels a clear and solid perspective on this so maybe he is still bouncing around trying to find his niche. I have some thoughts of my own but haven't formed a solid adherence to either political side of the cloning issue. And no sense getting in a hurry. The finger pointing at the religious right or the left wing radicals is a bad sign that makes me think we will struggle with it until judgement day.

Bush's position seems utterly Luddite to many, I'm not sure that Luddite would be the right word. Luddites where more in to destroying machines because they thought it threatened their livelihood. The technology of the machines that the Luddites destoryed wasn't even really new. It was more of a workers revolt against management. The following article calls it "open-eyed class warfare" nytimes.com Even if you take what the term luddite has come to mean (someone who is anti-technology) that wouldn't apply either, IMO. ________________ luddite.com Sells computers over the internet so its hardly luddite, but the computers have wood cases.
