As we prepare for the final debate on the cloning Bill, we hope that some MPs will have read the full ‘case against cloning’ which we sent to them in two stages last week, and which can be viewed on the website at:
http://www.cloning.org.au/Documents/final%20cloning%20appeal.pdf
We can still have some (desperate) hope that our MPs will focus clearly on the ethical issue at stake, and that their conscience will be able to crawl out from under the heap of con science that shonky scientists and moronic media have dumped on them.
As I told one journalist today:
"We think the vote will not be as close as in the Senate, but that if MPs get focussed on the single ethical issue at stake - whether it is morally permissible to create new human embryos solely for research - then anything can happen. If they remained fooled by Dr Mal Washer's nonsense statements that cloning does not create an embryo (since there is no sperm involved - even though Dolly was created without sperm!) then of course they will support the Bill.
"And this inhuman Bill based on misguided science will be passed - a Bill so ugly that it allows for the creation of embryos from aborted baby girls. And science, which should serve our humanity, will have made us all less human."

The biggest difficulty will probably be getting over the "therapeutic" con-job based on the "compassionate" view that human cloning may lead to "cures."
Whether it does or not, is neither here nor there due to the unethical nature of cloning anyway. But those who vote against the bill have to put up with being characterised as "lacking compassion" - and for some, that's a big hurdle. Sadly.
Good for you, though, in your fight to keep the main ethical consideration in the spotlight.
