HUMAN CLONING ISN'T INEVITABLE

BODY:
THE JUXTAPOSITION OF SUNDAY'S FOCUS STORY ON CLONING AND MONDAY'S LEAD STORY ON BRIGHAM AND WOMEN'S DECISION TO END LATE-TERM ABORTIONS EPITOMIZES SITUATIONAL ETHICS.

In the first article, doctors, ethicists, politicians, and pundits blast researchers working to advance human cloning for what they view as immorally playing God. In the second, this same group decries a shortage of late-term abortion providers in Massachusetts. So creating new life is wrong, but killing a fetus is not? Who indeed is playing God?
