Many of the local clinics in the Boston area have regular protesters who do nothing more than stand outside with a couple of signs and pray. While annoying, these protesters are not the ones that the Clinic Access law is directed towards. It is the terrorist tactics of forcefully blocking clinics and physically intimidating women that need to be stopped...
George Wang, in his editorial, "Equal Access v. Equal Protection," argues that abortion clinic protesters are being unfairly treated because they will lose the ability to protest peacefully. This conclusion is based on the innocent assumption that the Freedom of Clinic Access bill will prevent such protests. The law, in fact, addresses the right of people to "peacefully demonstrate or picket." For Wang to presume that abortion protesters who are actually behaving in a respectable manner will be hauled off to jail because they are protesting an unpopular position is quite a stretch of logic...
...politics of abortion. "Congress and our state legislatures are fearful of anything that gets them near the abortion debate," complained Caplan. "As a result, we have had no systematic discussion of surrogacy, of what to do with frozen embryos when parents die, of who can operate a fertility clinic. And we have had no systematic discussion of cloning...
...story. As a result, Caplan helped shape the discussion that followed. For example, although Hall's technique cannot produce more than two or three clones of any embryo, several stories written about his experiment included the scenario, put forward by Caplan and other ethicists, in which an infertility clinic offers prospective parents a catalog filled with children's photographs. Below each picture is a report on the child's academic and social achievement. Couples could choose from among the pictures, receive a frozen embryo, and then raise that child -- not a sibling or near relative -- but an exact genetic duplicate...
...initial effort, to produce clones that would actually be implanted in their mothers and later born. The scientists said they just wanted to take the first step toward determining if cloning is as feasible in humans as it is in cattle. Working in George Washington's in-vitro fertilization clinic, they selected embryos that were abnormal because they came from eggs that had been fertilized by more than one sperm; these flawed embryos were destined for an early death whether or not they were implanted. Thus Hall and Stillman saw nothing unethical about experimenting with them, and they got permission...
