The backlash has begun. President Clinton is all hot and bothered over
the new stem cell that was a cow human hybrid, so yesterday he wrote a
letter to a panel composed of the lowest form of human scum, medical
ethicists. He wants these creatures to tell him what to do. The technique
harms not one person and when developed could save the lives of millions,

and that is all the evidence medical ethicists need to declare it grossly 
immoral.

You've probably heard the clich  that this sort of thing has proven
modern Science has become arrogant. Well it's true, but I've always
thought humility was an overrated virtue. Over two thousand years ago
Cicero wrote:

"Humility is very rare, even philosophers who write books extolling its
  virtue take care to write their name on the title page."
