I have been pounding on my drum lately about how the cloners have no intention of limiting their research to early embryos in Petri dishes. More proof that I am right can be found in new legislation introduced recently in Washington state. Senate Bill 5594, while purporting to outlaw the “cloning of a human being,” actually would explicitly legalize the creation of cloned human life and its gestation through the ninth month. The only act that would be actually prohibited is the implantation of cloned embryos for the purpose of bringing a cloned baby into the world, which is what the legislation means by “cloning a human being.” I have written about this disengenuous bit of legislating and will post the column on my WEB site as soon as it is published.
You have a decision to make: double or nothing.
For this week only, a generous supporter has offered to fully match all new and increased donations to First Things up to $60,000.
In other words, your gift of $50 unlocks $100 for First Things, your gift of $100 unlocks $200, and so on, up to a total of $120,000. But if you don’t give, nothing.
So what will it be, dear reader: double, or nothing?
Make your year-end gift go twice as far for First Things by giving now.
