A Cloning Ban... From the Left?Virginia Postrel has a very interesting article in Forbes on the criminalizing of science. But the people who want to make certain science a crime, aren't the people you generally think about:
I'd actually never heard of the Canadian law before this... and was quite surprised. Banning cloning... from the left? I found the entire article to be quite interesting, and it's definitely worth a read. In this country, the religious right definitely takes the brunt of the punishment on this topic, but it's good to keep in mind that they're not the only ones who oppose this. There's a whole other group of people who oppose it for a whole different set of reasons. For them... its about taking class warfare into the genetic age.
