One more paradox of our lost times

As I have said, I am not with enough time to read everything, so I must risk saying thing already said.

Have you ever noticed the absurd paradix concerning opinions about cloning today?

Most scientists (at least those heard by the large media) defend "cloning for therapeuthic reasons" and condemn "cloning for full development".

Now, although both forms of cloning are a devilry, the "therapeuthic" version is much more immoral that the other, as it involves deliberate destruction of embryos (abortion), while the "full development", at least in theory (not considering the risks of spontaneous abortion, ill formation etc.), does not involve deliberate killing of human lives. However, scientists think it "highly immoral", at the same time they think "therapeuthic" cloning a very good thing...

Go figure!
