Blogger Thoughts: Blogging Catholic Priest upholds this blogger's extremely low opinion of the worth of Priests and Catholic ethical guidelines.
When discussion ethics and cloning, he come out with:

I have to admit, this type of test tends to allow one to have a clear answer about what is ethical and what is not. However, the answer is so out of step with any reasonable developing concensus. Can I say for sure the Catholic approach to this question is wrong? Certainly I can't. Can I say it would impose restrictions that I find wholly incompatible with medical science and human progress. Absolutely.
