Politech is the oldest Internet resource devoted to politics and technology. Launched in 1994 by Declan McCullagh, the mailing list has chronicled the growing intersection of culture, technology, politics, and law. Since 2000, so has the Politech web site.
Here's the video of a previous ad the group ran in Feb-March: http://www.kaisernetwork.org/adwatch/adwatch_index.cfm?display=detail&aw=306 Their press release about the latest ad (text below): http://cloninginformation.org/prps/shc-02-04-28.htm A pro-therapeutic cloning petition: http://www.franklinsociety.org And rebuttal (technically, a prebuttal), courtesy of Glenn Reynolds: http://www.techcentralstation.com/1051/envirowrapper.jsp?PID=1051-450&CID=1051-041902A -Declan --- http://cloninginformation.org/audio/shc_commercial_script.htm AUDIO Script of the Harriet and Louis radio commercial produced by Stop Human Cloning. Harriet and Louis Set the Record Straight on Human Cloning Stop Human Cloning's 60-second radio ad HARRIET: Louis, did you see that ad on tv about cloning? LOUIS: The one with the couple who look just like us. HARRIET: Spooky, huh? LOUIS: You don't suppose they're really clones, do you? HARRIET: Who knows? It seems like some biotech companies will do just about anything to make a buck. Did you know they want to get patents on human clones, just like they do on lab animals? LOUIS: But their ad says they're only using a human egg and a skin cell. HARRIET: Well that's how you make a clone! LOUIS: But they also say cloning is needed to cure terrible diseases. HARRIET: Look, if they were really interested in cures, they'd be talking about adult stem cell research, which shows far more promise -- not creating embryos to destroy them for medical experiments. LOUIS: What can we do to stop them? HARRIET: Well, there is a Senate bill that bans all human cloning. LOUIS: But not lifesaving research? HARRIET: Of course not. It's the bill President Bush supports. We need to call Senator [Tim Johnson] at 202-224-3121 and ask him to vote for the Brownback/Landrieu bill. [Doorbell rings] LOUIS: Harriet, your sister is here. HARRIET: Sister? I don't have a sister.
