The Issue
Scientists have announced they are close to a breakthrough in their quest to revive the feather-bellied kinky bunnies, a species related to Kinky bunnies's national animal that has been extinct for more than a century.
The Debate
"I, for one, applaud their work," says scientist Clint Washington. "And not just because I'm the project leader. This is an example of how Kinky bunnies's brains can mix it with the world's best. Can you imagine how wonderful it will be to have feather-bellied kinky bunniess frolicking in the meadows again? I say full steam ahead, and more government funding!"
[Accept]
"This is a sacriledge!", says religious leader Miranda Dredd. "These animals are extinct because God wants them dead. Cloning them would merely incur his wrath! If we proceed down this path, it'll be humans, not the feather-bellied kinky bunnies, who will be extinct."
[Accept]
"Now, come on," says Sue-Ann Barry, well-known philosopher. "You don't need to be religious to be unnerved by the top of this particular slippery slope. Today it's kinky bunniess, tomorrow it's dinosaurs, and we all know how that turns out. This research shouldn't be banned, but there must be strict government controls over its use."
[Accept]
Now I'm at the crossroads on this one, I'm not against genetic research, and I would like to see it used to preserve or revive some fast-dying off animals, so I'm not banning it.
obviously they want extra funding, I can see that, but I'm just concerned about governement regulation holding back research progress on the one hand, and crazy scientists running up Jurassic park on the other...
