Take a gun. Insert a bullet. Squeeze the trigger. The gun fires. We call this series of events "firing a gun."
Now imagine someone asserts, "No, that's not firing a gun! Only when you do those things and aim at a target, intending to hit the bull's eye, can you call it 'firing a gun.' Simply squeezing the trigger and sending out a bullet is not 'firing a gun'!"
Your reaction?
Yeah, me too.
So listen to supporters of Missouri's Amendment 2. "The technique is not cloning! Yes, the same technique produced Dolly the sheep, but that's cloning because they intended a birth. You can't call the same technique cloning unless your target is birth."
Did you get the same reaction?
Call me crazy, but guns or stem cell, intentions do not change the nature of the technique.
