I skim read this. What I read looked good, but I cannot make a
definitive conclusion yet. But I get the impression that he thought a
lot about both sides of the issue.
Now I read it in more detail. It really seems clear to me that he
thought about it a lot. Basically he raised every point that we have
brought up (e.g. if we are going to throw them away anyway, why not use
them). You might disagree, but he wasn't capritious in any way.
Next, now I read some more between the lines - so what the Korean guy
did was to try to clone using unfertilized eggs. What the stem cell
lines do is provide cells from embryos which are five days old. They
have already been destroyed, but from them more cells are grown, which
are usuable as cells in which the nucleus can be replaced, again to
create clones.
So did I get it right this time? I'm hoping that tomorrow someone will
give a nice summary of what it is all about.
