Being a scientist, I plug into your show weekly.
I found your discussion of cloning very balanced, but I also found
my opinion underrepresented. Assuming that human
cloning was technologically feasible today, the
U.S. government would probably pass legislation
preventing its implementation. I think that it is
imperative that our scientists and journalists work
to educate the general public about the concepts
behind and possible benefits of human cloning.
This action will help to eliminate those opposing
human cloning due to ignorance and fear. This
shift in public understanding will prevent the
government from hindering the progress of
researchers in the future as these technologies are
developed.
This also lends itself to another topic for a
second show...The increasing information gap
between scientists and the non-scientific lay
public, and the problems this deficit presents to
the advancement of science.
