- 141: Cloning
- ... emphasis on individual and communitarian gains. Both use a biblical voice, and an appeal to a higher authority, but the first example is more individualistic in nature and the ensuing more communitarian. In America, President Clinton has imposed a ban on federal funding for human cloning experiments. Using a biblical voice he argued that he was trying to stop "people from playing God." He said "there is much about cloning that ... we do know: any discovery that touches upon human creation is not simply a matter of scientific inquiry, it is a matter of morality and spirituality as well." Everyone in government did not share President Clinton's communitarian concern over the cloning of humans. Sen.Tom Harkin expressed his deterministic views when he said that he opposed any limits on cloning. "What utter, utter nonsense to think that we can stop cloning . . . human cloning will take place in my lifetime and I welcome it" (USA TODAY ). Although president Clinton and Senator Harkin hold political positions (for the people), both use dissimilar language when discussing cloning. The president's concerns are communitarian. He uses biblical and republican languages (ssecond language), when arguing his position. ...
- 142: The Human Cloning Controversy
- ... The moratorium means that no scientists can clone even one somatic cell that comes from a human being. Many researchers are concerned that laws prohibiting human cloning will threaten important research. U.S. President Bill Clinton said he was troubled by a scientists' desire to clone a human and urged Congress to pass a ban on human cloning experiments for at least five years. Clinton was speaking of Chicago-area physicist, Richard Seed, who caused an uproar when he said he was ready to set up a clinic to clone human babies and predicted that as many as 200,000 ... produce a human clone within 18 months provided he could get financial backing, with his first service being cloned babies for infertile couples. Seed and others should not be hampered by the kind of legislation Clinton, as well as other world leaders and religious figures, proposes. Science, specifically genetics, is a field that is constantly evolving and progressing. The field of genetics has taken center stage in the debate over ...

Constitutional law Scholar Laurence Tribe said, “human cloning would alter the very meaning of humanity.” President Clinton stated cloning “raises deep concerns given our cherished concepts of faith and humanity.”(Heinlen) The possible effects of cloning on the physical and social development of the human species are debated by many ethicists. State ... cloning is no longer the subject of imagination. It is something that is just around the corner, and we need to take appropriate steps to govern it immediately.” After the first sheep was cloned President Clinton exercised his executive powers to ban the use of Federal funding on human cloning research in the United States (Staples). Currently legislation is pending in congress to prohibit cloning research. Clinton asked congress for a five-year ban on cloning humans.

- 145: William Henry Gates III
- ... They have one child, Jennifer Katharine Gates, born in 1996. Times are changing fast. Three years ago, while President Bushs camp was mounting a direct-mail campaign unchanged from that of Reagan before him, the Clinton camp, host to a horde of so-called "computer whiz kids," all in their twenties, was developing a completely new set of election tactics, using personal computer networks and electronic mail, or "e-mail". Many ... man named Bill Gates. Won over by then Vice- Presidential candidate Gores promise to vigorously promote the "information superhighway," Gates, declaring himself a representative of Silicon Valley, donated a large amount of money to the Clinton campaign. The support of Bill Gates boosted the popularity of the Democratic Party. This year, Forbes Magazine's traditional annual list ranked this same Bill Gates, head of Microsoft Corp., as the worlds richest human ... liberal and a strong supporter of the Democratic Party; lately, however, the word about town is that Gates and the Democratic Party have had a falling-out. The U.S. Department of Justice under the Clinton administration, citing doubts about the legality under U.S. antitrust laws of attempted buy-outs of other companies by Microsoft, has put such purchases on hold, causing them to fall through and, it is ...
- 146: Burr, Aaron
- ... excellent attorney and made important political connections. He was "the most rising young man in the state," a contemporary noted. Political Career In 1789 Burr was appointed attorney general of New York by Gov. George Clinton. Two years later the state assembly, which was controlled by partisans of Clinton and Robert Livingston, elected Burr to the U.S. Senate. His career in the Senate was not particularly memorable. Hamilton hated him, Clinton soon learned to distrust him, and George Washington refused his request to be appointed minister to France. But in and out of Congress, Burr managed to maneuver so skillfully, and with so much personal ...
- 147: Al Gore
- ... 1988, Gore made a bid for the Democratic nomination for the presidency. He won five southern states on Super Tuesday, but eventually lost to Michael Dukakis. Gore remained in the Senate until presidential candidate Bill Clinton chose him as his running mate in 1992. They were elected into office that year and re-elected in 1996. While in office, Gore continued to display concern for the environment. In 1992 he wrote Earth in the Balance: Healing the Global Environment (1992). He also worked to cut back on government bureaucracy. Though it was Clinton who came under fire so often during their terms, Gore’s political image suffered some when he was investigated by the Justice Department for soliciting donations from the White House for the 1996 re-election campaign. As expected, Gore began another presidential bid for the 2000 election. With his moderate politics and his ability to distance himself from the scandals that shook Clinton, Gore faced down an early challenge from former Senator Bill Bradley, but emerged victorious in every primary election. Bradley withdrew from the race in early March 2000, stating that he supports Gore and calling ...
- 148: Welfare
- Welfare In the recent February article of the Los Angeles Times, Clinton has announced to go on with a plan to help people of welfare. Clinton challenged corporate bosses five months ago to take people in from welfare and trained them. One of the main contributors of the project is a chief executive officer of the Monsanto Ca., the nation's fourth largest chemical maker. Clinton singled out the Monsanto company and other companies for helping out welfare workers. Monsanto has hired five recipient and found almost twenty more jobs for others. Under the new laws of the welfare reforms, ...
- 149: Chinese Economic Reform under Communist Rule
- ... is, the politics of China, which have always been allied with its economics, are now restricting international growth. The United States, especially, has been concerned with China's treatment of political dissidents. In May, President Clinton decided to end linking China's trade status with the United States with its record on human rights. The president has been criticized for this because of situations like the following: trials for "'counterrevolutionary activities ... These trials have "been delayed twice, first to avoid negative international reaction just before the decision last September on China's failed bid to host the 2000 Olympics and then this spring to avoid influencing Clinton's trade decision" ("China cracks" A13). In addition, China has instituted "new laws effective in June [which] give sweeping powers to China's State Security Bureau to clamp down on dissidents" ("China cracks" A13). China ... administrators to question China's sincerity in its desire to have a favored trade status with the United States. Indeed, just in the past few days, it took a last-minute lobbying campaign by President Clinton and his Cabinet [to head off a] potentially embarrassing vote by the House of Representatives to restrict trade with China as a way to punish Beijing for reported human rights violations. (Bradsher A7) But ...
- 150: Observation Case Study At Alpha Elementary
- ... school early I was able to observe Kayla in the playground quite often. She was swinging every time, except once. While she swings she is constantly watching the other children, observing what they are doing. Clinton (1996) states, "When we give children the nurturing, time, and care they need they are more likely to develop emotional intelligence, confidence in their intellectual abilities and the capacity to cope with life's adversities." Clinton also stated, "The villages most important tasks are to help children develop those habits of self- disipline and empathy that constitutes to what we call character." I believe Kayla will develop positive characteristics and be ... intrinsic; it comes from within." When Kayla completes an activity she is very proud of herself. I can see it in her eyes and her big wide smile. Another message that I particularly like be Clinton is, "In order to become autonomous selves; children need us to talk to them, to read to them, to play with them, to teach them and to simply spend time with them. In my ...
