Hi Platt,
thanks for responding

Yes, that's social control and nurturing of biological reproduction, but it
still is in the hands of the people reproducing. They just have to marry
first.

Good, that's the way I see it too. Now, it is a question of how control of
genetic engineering is percieved - some people will no doubt feel people
ought to be free to genetically engineer children, or clone themselves,
while other people will feel that this puts limits human freedom because the
cloning is done by (and for) the "giant", even if it is not directly done by
the government but is only allowed or regulated by the government.
So where do we go from here? I'm afraid the MoQ will put a Technological
Giant that purports to serve human freedom ahead of a human freedom that is
more connected to nature and biology and life.
Johnny
