Reproductive cloning should be classified as a crime against humanity. It's well known that a very large percentage of clones have nasty genetic defects due to problems involved in the cloning process.<BR/><BR/>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5880610.post-1116557840837002172005-05-19T22:57:00.000-04:002005-05-19T22:57:00.000-04:00Quantoken,Not to offend, but your posts on this bl...Quantoken,<BR/><BR/>Not to offend, but your posts on this blog on physics and cryptography strike me as those of a "non-expert" (I am putting this politely).
