I have just sent this letter to Richard Seed. His e-mail adresses are ljseed@pol.net and seed@interaccess.com (source: http://www.humancloning.org/seed.htm).

Dr. Seed,
I am a 21 year old college senior attending the University at Buffalo, majoring in cognitive science. Although I disagree with certain minor positions you have on human cloning, I am of the opinion that it is generally a completely benign procedure and there are no moral issues associated with it other then those associated with reproduction in general. The attacks on human cloning are based on ignorance and fears so vague that they can be expressed no more precisely then "deep ethical issues". I wish you luck, and please, please, please do not give up. Accomplishing this scientific task in the face of aggresive stupidity will set a precedent for future scientists who are bound to face similar obsticals. I'm sure you've heard all this before, but when I found your e-mail adress(es), I had to write to personally thank you.
I also have a question. I read a while ago that you were in the proccess of setting up a clinic in Japan. I only read one report of this and could find no other source, so I would just like to verify with you that this is true. Thank you for your time,
Zeb Haradon
