The last several years have been quite eventful in the field of biotechnology. President Bush was castigated for modest restrictions on federal funding of human ESCR and his policy is on the brink of being overturned. Several countries outlawed all human cloning. Some, like the UK moved full speed ahead into human SCNT. Hwang Wu-suk claimed to have created cloned human embryos, only later to have been proved a charlatan. California passed Proposition 71 which will pour $3 billion over 10 years into cloning and ESCR.
So, where will all of this lead? Take this poll and tell us what you think. (Feel free to explain your vote in the comments section.)
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.
