Virginia Postrel usefully points out (once again) the bifurcation of the anti-cloning activists' agenda.

The religious conservatives at least have a morally consistant and arguable position, even though I do not agree with it. They do believe in defending life and they sincerely believe that an embryo is a human being, just like you and I, and therefor deserves the same protections as well. This is a ligitimate argument and deserves respect, even though I think it wrong.

Leon Kass and his bio-fascist collegues are simply anti-life, anti-freedom, and anti-human scum who deserve no respect whatsoever. These people should be drummed out of the administration by whatever means necessary and should be criticized and condemned by any means necessary. These people are nothing but fascistic scum who have no business even being allowed to live in America.
