Still, the caves are a remarkable refuge. I entered my first one by walking through a narrow 20-ft. passage chiseled into a 60[degree] mountain slope--the effect was of walking through a deep cavern open to the sky. I stepped over two rows of sandbags that blocked the passage and came to a 3-ft. opening. I ducked into the mouth and dared go no farther.

This is not a slippery slope argument. Cloning embryos only to kill them is not wrong because it might lead to infanticide. It is wrong in and of itself, because it establishes a vast and invisible class of human beings who will be manufactured, dissected and slaughtered in the hopes of extending our own, safely non-embryonic lives.
