I must have recovered (finally) from the horrors of the battle of C-13, because I haven't been so excited by a bit of terrifying legislation in years.
And hooooo BOY is this a nasty one! I feel like an entomologist who has discovered a brand new species of extremely poisonous and noxious spider and is wondering how to turn the horrible thing into undying fame and glory in the geeky bug-scientist club.
A little email from Anthony Ozimic gives the barest of first-glance notes and I can feel myself almost jumping up and down with glee. Who says Britannia doesn't rule any more?
(1) the destruction of human life through greater facilitation of embryo experimentation, including research involving the genetic modification of embryos ('designer babies');
(2) fatal discrimination against the disabled and the sick through greater facilitation of PGD;
(3) the degrading of human life through the creation of human embryos with animal genes, and by a definition which defines man as an animal;
(4) the undermining of the family through the re-defining of the parent, father, mother etc as if these were merely terms denoting changeable social and legal constructs ("agreed father", "agreed mother") rather than unchangeable natural realities with social and legal responsibilities;
(5) the enshrining in primary legislation of anti-life practices currently only permitted indirectly via secondary legislation: human cloning, tissue typing of saviour siblings, sex selection on medical grounds."
