>British Conservative deputy Charles Tannock told a news conference on
Wednesday that the distinction between ``therapeutic'' cloning and cloning
embryos to make a baby was spurious as one step would probably lead to the
other. ``(This) could eventually lead to the Orwellian nightmare of cloned
babies,'' he said. <
Presumably this illiterate meant `the Huxleyan nightmare'.
And it wasn't the cloning per se in BRAVE NEW WORLD that was nightmarish,
it was the subsequent shaping/deforming, specialized limiting education and
other controlling, stifling social structures.
