For a glossy summary of why cloning is a blighted science, and why our Parliaments can and must remove the legislation that underpins cloning, here is a link to my peer-reviewed article in the latest edition of 'Viewpoint'. This is a public-issues journal put out by the Australian Christian Lobby, and features a pair of opposing opinions - in this case the other side was put by Professor Loane Skene, former Chair of the Lockhart Review Committee which recommended cloning to the Federal Government back in 2005.
To read her article, and all the other valuable material in the October edition of Viewpoint, please buy one, or a dozen and give them to friends for Christmas, via http://www.viewpointmagazine.com.au
As for my article, feel free to circulate - but mention Viewpoint as the source, thanks.

WELCOME - AND A WORD ON THE DEATH OF CLONING
Welcome to Phase II of our website, where we celebrate the triumph of ethical stem cell research, and work towards repeal of laws that permit cloning and experimentation on human embryos.
The 'iPS' revolution in stem cell science in November 2007, which rendered cloning redundant, was called "an earthquake for both the science and ethics of stem cells". That earthquake has created a rupture so radical that we need to divide our web information into 'pre-iPS' and 'post-iPS'.
The relevant material from 2003 to 2007 remains the foundation of our argument for ethical stem cell research. It will be brought across from the mothballed site to this site in due course. However, the times have changed so dramatically that it was not helpful to direct people to the old site any more. Watch this space....
Now, post-iPS, our Blog aims to keep you up to date with the most relevant breaking news and commentary on this exciting field of science, ethics and politics. __________________________
As an overview of the revolution in stem cell science since 2007 and why cloning is both wrong and redundant, see our national director's peer-reviewed article, "An Obituary for Human Cloning" (October 2010) HERE.
