Here I am, a silent one, except now, but, question............."When we landed on the moon in 1969, did we question whether or not we actually did? I suppose some did, said it was fake, but after many years of space exploration the average American had no reason to challenge it. But, this cloning, someone saying they have a fine, healthy baby. Do you actually believe this? Do you not challenge the authenticity of this announcement? I'm not from Missouri, but I need to be shown more than what is there. Sounds like BS to me. Don't believe everything you hear or read......... -----Original Message----- From: Parkinson's Information Exchange Network [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of [log in to unmask] Sent: Saturday, December 28, 2002 10:22 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: More trouble: Clonaid Hi All - By now you've no doubt heard about the first supposedly cloned baby. It was only a matter of time before such claims would surface. And it saddens me. Why? One reason is obvious. This is unproven technology that has not been researched by qualified scientists. In animal experiments in cloning the results have proven to be disastrous with the cloned subject having a short lifespan and/or having severe abnormalities. Another reason? Yes, and this one is more subtle and directly affects all of us. I predict this debacle will used to further limit research on ALL types of cloning. That includes those which have potential benefit to the PD community. In sum, the recent announcement by Clonaid (of its undocumented "success" in human cloning) is bad news for society in general and people with severe illness in particular.
