Diane Rehm's show this morning was about the FDA making a ruling on the
safety for human consumption of food from cloned animals. (Could that
sentence be any more stilted?) Interestingly, the panelists said that
Americans seem to consider cloning of animals to be immoral. I don't get
it. If it's moral to eat animals, and it's moral to breed and farm them
for food, what difference do the methods of reproduction make? I can see
making a different moral judgment on either of the first two premises,
but I don't get the third.

Oh, come on - don't you know that the finger of God touches each little creature and imbues it with the spark of life? Cloning is just an affront to the miracle of creation that is God's gift of life. Even if we just brutally break the little chicken's neck to make some yummy fried chicken.

God can reach a laboratory test tube just fine, but this clning business is from Satan, I tell you.

Or maybe it's the squirrels. ;)

I thought the FSM made all things with His Noodly Appendage.
