Regulatory Czar Says Cloning Should Be Legal

Cass Sunstein, Obama's regulatory czar, said in a paper he authored, "If scientists will be using and cloning embryos only at a very early stage when they are just a handful of cells (say, before they are four days old), there is no good reason for a ban (on cloning)."

He reviewed the book Our Posthuman Future by Francis Fukuyama and said, "It is silly to think that 'potential' is enough for moral concern. Sperm cells have 'potential' and (not to put too fine a point on it) most people are not especially solicitous about them." Never mind that neither sperm cells nor eggs have the potential to turn into humans on their own.

I have already written about his animal rights whacko ideas, like how animals should be considered just as important as humans and they should be allowed to bring suit in court.
