“Banning human cloning reflects our humanity. It is the right thing to do. Creating a child through this new method calls into question our most fundamental beliefs. It has the potential to threaten the sacred family bonds at the very core of our ideals and our society. At its worst, it could lead to misguided and malevolent attempts to select certain traits, even to create certain kind of children -- to make our children objects rather than cherished individuals.” HumansKindChildrenCertainHumanityIndividualBeliefWorstObjectsCreatingIdealsOur ChildrenMethodFundamentalsSacredCoreThings To DoRight ThingOur SocietyTraitsSelectMisguidedCloningFamily BondHuman Cloning Author:William J.

If you ever broke open a Magic 8-Ball with a hammer, you discovered that it contained a many-sided plastic object, with an answer on every facet, floating in a cylinder of murky blue fluid. The many-sided core held the answer to your question. My theory is that, as with our children, as with every surface of that geodesic dome inside the 8-Ball, every age we've ever been is who we are.” IfsChildrenLittlesAgeAsksAnswersMagicObjectsTheoryWindowBallsOur ChildrenBlueSurfaceCoreBrokeWho We AreShakesPlasticFloatingHammersFluidFacetsDomesCylinders Book:Grace (Eventually): Thoughts on Faith Source: Grace (Eventually): Thoughts on Faith
“Somewhere in the child, somewhere in the adult, there is a hard, irreducible, stubborn core of biological urgency, and biological necessity, and biological reason that culture cannot reach and that reserves the right, which sooner or later it will exercise, to judge the culture and resist and revise it.” ChildrenHardReasonCultureJudgingExerciseAdultsCoreReservesSooner Or LaterStubbornUrgency Author:Lionel Trilling
