We're told: "A panel of 22 experts -- including primatologists, stem cell researchers, lawyers and philosophers -- debated the possible consequences of the technique for more than a year." I could debate that shit easily for a year, even if it paid me like a 1st year associate, especially since the resulting work product wouldn't be too draining and if they let me smoke a lot of pot (end work product after one fucking year we're told is: "While the group agrees it is unlikely the process would work, the members felt strongly the risk is real and ethically important.") We need to find a sugar daddy to pay us to debate some shit on here too.

You can't be this dumb. No way is that paid, or even a full-time thing. It was a bunch of law professors doing it on their free time so they can add the committee membership to their CVs and use it as fodder for yet another law review article that no one will read, in hopes of getting tenure at the third-rate law school sunny went to. Or, if higher status, because they can lord it over the lower status people on the committee who want tenure or want to cowrite an article with the higher-status person.
