[The clone] is robbed of the freedom which can only thrive under the protection of ignorance… an inexplicable crime that must not be committed even once.

                                                                                       Hans Jonas, 1974

“Just to dumbfound Annas I have decided to clone myself first. My wife will carry the child. She’s postmenopausal but that’s no problem.”

                                                                                       Richard Seed, 9/5/98

“Replication of a human by <!g>cloning would radically alter the definition of a human being by producing the world’s first human with a single genetic parent”

Annas, 3/97

“A child by cloning has a full set of <!g>chromosomes like anyone else…[the] donor is not the child’s ‘parent’ in any biological sense, but simply an earlier offspring of the original parents.”

Lewontin, 10/97
