The Anti-Life Opposition to Embryonic Stem Cell Research
by David Holcberg and Alex Epstein
(May 22, 2005)
In the name of the sanctity of human life and the inviolability of rights, embryonic stem cell research must be allowed to proceed unimpeded.

To Ban Cloning Would Be a Moral Abomination
by Alex Epstein
(February 17, 2004)
In a huge breakthrough for medical progress, scientists from South Korea have finally created a cloned human embryo and extracted its stem cells--a feat that makes life-saving embryonic stem-cell treatments that much closer to reality.

Immoral to Ban Human Cloning: Irrational Fears Must Not Block Scientific Advances
by Harry Binswanger
(December 19, 2003)
Once we put aside the emotionalism, it becomes apparent that there is no rational or moral basis for banning human cloning.

Cloning is a Pro-Life Technology
by Alex Epstein
(November 11, 2003)
Any attempt to ban human cloning technology should be rejected permanently, because cloning-- therapeutic and reproductive--is morally good. The mentalities that denounce cloning and "playing God" have consistently opposed technological progress, especially in medicine. They objected to anesthesia, smallpox inoculations, contraception, heart transplants, in vitro fertilization--on the grounds that these innovations were "unnatural" and contrary to God's will. To let them cripple biotechnological progress by banning cloning would be a moral abomination.

Mandatory Labelling Is A Bad Idea
by Gregory Conko
(March 23, 2003)

Reason, Not Pretense
by S.M. Oliva
(January 31, 2003)
National Review Online has highlighted a column by senior editor Ramesh Ponnuru that claims the title "Reason, Not Faith," in calling for a total cloning ban. This essay is a red herring, as it lures the reader with the siren of rational argument, while ultimately resorting to appeal to faith.

Human Cloning: Raelians vs. Reality
by Robert W. Tracinski
(January 8, 2003)
Why have we abandoned the aggressive pursuit of scientific progress to a bunch of loonies?

Norman Borlaug: Solving World Hunger Through Genetics
by James K. Glassman
(November 21, 2002)
It's time the world paid attention to the work of people like Borlaug and Sanchez, rather than to the anti-biotech fanatics whose resistance postpones the day when the world is free from hunger.

The Big Chill: Politics vs. the Science of Stem Cell Research
by Scott Anderson
(August 16, 2002)
"The potential benefits of stem cell research promise to transform healthcare and stimulate economic growth. But they will accrue to countries where the policies and funding encourage, rather than hobble, the stem cell enterprise."

Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal
by Ayn Rand
