Just saw this on SF Gate:
"Comparing pornography to heroin, researchers on Thursday called on Congress to finance studies on "porn addiction" and launch a public health campaign about the dangers."

I hope the prosecutors suffer severe and permanent back injuries. Preferably inflicted by the angry relatives of legitimate pain patients.

Disgusting.

Rick,

The idea is that a UN treaty would be negotiated and then the Bush Administration would try to get the Senate to ratify it, thus making it US law.

Also, having lived in the developing world, I came to understand that having the UN condemn the research would have a weirdly disproportionate negative effect on public opinion around the world. It would serve as a stick for opponents to say "the whole world condemns this research as immoral, yet the US is going alone as a rogue cloning state" or some such, which again would have a chilling effect on the research and debates here at home.
