Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Has anyone in the US raised a Privacy Right Issue on this?
Just a musing on my part, but it seems to me that a law prohibiting me from cloning my own cells would raise a Constitutional issue. Haven't I, as a US citizen, the right to feel secure in my person? And wouldn't that right logically include the nuclei of my own cells?

What right does the Congress have to determine what I do with my own cells?

I see the "embryo issue" as two distinct issues. On one hand, what do we do with the embryos frozen which were initially designed to produce distinct human beings. And on the other, an individuals right to do what they choose with their own cells (i.e. clone themselves in order to produce stem cells which could not possibly be rejected).

I don't pretend to understand the controversy here, but I am completely dumbfounded as to why anyone would consider cloning one's own cells to produce potentially life-saving cells ethically lacking. Maybe it really is time for me to leave the US. :-)


just a thought,
Mikem
New Not to mention the sanctity of our bodily fluids.
I keep my clones in mason jars in an underground bunker.
Along with all the blood relatives I was able to catch.
They all have some of my DNA, you know.
Ain't nobody gonna violate this American's privacy.

For what it's worth, gangrene makes one testy.
