Experiments on Dolly, the first clone, demonstrated that identical twins are more similar than clones. However still we have the neo-classicals that somehow still view cloning as if it were just Hitler revisited. Classic example of people with opinions before they even bother to learn basic facts.
The TV show was called 'Threes Company'. But those who promote fear got their dates wrong. Two weeks before the show had even aired, the religious right letter writing campaign had already beseiged ABC appauled at what they had watched on TV. Threes Company was clearly going to preach immorality. Why? They did not have to first learn facts - watch the show. Their religious leaders had already told them what was and was not moral.
And so we also have nonsense responses about clones, genetically modified crops, and stem cell research. People with opinions who cannot even bother to first learn fundamental facts.
