Cloning and Killing
Say what you (and I) will about the War in Iraq, President George W. Bush is on the right side against a far greater evil than this war: Bush Vows to Veto Stem Cell Legislation.

Our President:

I'm very concerned about cloning. I worry about a world in which cloning becomes acceptable.

I made it very clear to the Congress that the use of federal money, taxpayers' money to promote science which destroys life in order to save life is — I'm against that. And therefore, if the bill does that, I will veto it.

Just today, I read these very appropriate words from Positivist turned Conservative George Gissing:

I hate and fear "science" because of my conviction that, for long to come if not forever, it will be the remorseless enemy of mankind. I see it destroying all simplicity and gentleness of life, all the beauty of the world; I see it restoring barbarism under a mask of civilization; I see it hardening men's minds and hardening their hearts; I see it bringing a time of vast conflicts, which will pale into insignificance "the thousand wars of old," and, as likely as not, will whelm all the laborious advances of mankind in blood-drenched chaos.

[quoted from pages 381-2 of The Conservative Mind by Russell Kirk)]
