Related to this line, I'm wondering why there have been no protests of the US FDA's position that it has authority to regulate cloning. This would include the process by which a woman provides her egg and her skin cell for cloning and reimplantation into the uterus. Why aren't the "pro-choice" groups assailing this infringement on a woman's "reproductive rights" and this intrusion by the government on women's bodies? Her egg, her skin cell, her uterus... How come there is no groundswell of women's groups about this intrusion? Are those groups really just about abortion, and not about "reproductive freedom"? What would be the valid reason for the government to claim power to regulate her egg, her skin DNA, and her uterus?
