Harry and Louise are great to represent promising future technologies
like therapeutic cloning. It doesn't require sophisticated philosophy
or deep knowledge of biology or economics to realize theurapeutic cloning
involves no significant ethical hazards and has great potential. Basic
common sense. It IS just about an egg and a skin cell. Same ethical
concerns as menstruating and taking a shower. That's all that needs to be
said.
