Grey Areas Are Difficult for Mr. Cohen

Eric Cohen is so paralyzed at the prospect of human cloning that he seems unable to fathom the possiblity of banning cloning for reproduction while allowing it for research. One wonders if he is also unable to distinguish driving under the speed limit from exceeding it or allowing participation by children in minimally risky research but not very risky research. Mr. Cohen is worried about the effects of ideology on the thinking of the pro stem cell research side but his intellectual palpitations over human cloning seem to have rendered him incoherent. - Art Caplan
