Comments on: Mary Lundby Is Illiterate http://iowaprogress.com/2007/02/13/mary-lundby-is-illiterate/ Politics in Iowa from a progressive viewpoint.

So would this be a double-secret entendre??? So on the literal level, when Lundby says she's "seen the deteriation of things we consider taboo" she's concened that our time-honored taboos are deterioating? Or is she using a loosely-veiled double entendre to expose her deepest desires and hidden intentions? Ah yes, Mary, the pen's proverbial prowess is mightier than the sword's unweilding power... Or is she using a double-secret entendre to mask the taboo and perpetual decay of proper grammar usage? “…the double entendre has new meaning in the fact that it shows up in every other sentence.”

The bill does prohibits the former but allows for the latter which in effect lifts the ban of all cloning signed into law by Gov. Vilsack in 2002.

Human cells (eggs & sperm) are used adn therefore it is HUMAN cloning. Implantation makes it reproductive but even PRIOR to implantation, a human embryo is created and then will be destroyed in the vain name of science! Shame on IOWA if this bill is passed.
