the FDA is being pressed into making decisions about cloning. is this really how we want this to be decided--a bunch of government people sitting a room, making little decision after little decision that will evolve into a policy that will change everybody's lives before anyone even took notice? this is when the european idea of scientific forums would be a thing to consider if anyone took the time to look out of the protective american bubble for a second.
this is the same with art. do we want the government making decisions about who gets money to make art, essentially handpicking artists? i think not. slash government funding for the arts.
