Another of Those Bible-Thumpin' Politicians, I Guess

So, who do you think made this statement?

[H]uman cloning is "dangerous, profoundly wrong" and has no place in society.

Some ignorant Bible thumper? Former President George W. Bush? No. President Obama. From March 9, 2009 Associated Press:

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama says human cloning is "dangerous, profoundly wrong" and has no place in society.
Obama made the comments as he was signing an executive order that will allow federal spending on embryonic stem cell research.
Some critics say the research can lead to human cloning. Obama said the government will develop strict guidelines for the research because misuse or abuse is unacceptable.

As it happens, the embryonic stem cell research (much of it funded by other governments and private research organizations) has so far yielded nothing. Unlike adult stem cell research--which has! So why the insistence on embryonic stem cell research? Because there are a lot of people that really, really want to avoid confronting difficult ethical questions about frozen embryos in fertility centers.
