What do I know about bioethics?

Today we watched the short movie called "Constructing Public Opinion". It was very interesting that how media affects when people make decisions and it also affects on politics. It was interesting to me that people support conservative ideas and liberal policy. The example of land use that Rab gave us in the class was easy to understand this theory. I wanted to watch some documentaries on the website of Media Education Foundation and I registered, but I couldn't figure out how to watch for free( maybe do I have to call or something?). It will be great if Rab can teach us how to do it. Anyway one of the movies on MEF, "Gloucester 18, The Realities of Teen Pregnancy",got my attention.

After watching the movie, we had a discussion about bioethics. "What did we know about bioethics before reading Radical Evolution and Fukuyama's airticle?" The answer for this question is "I basically knew nothing about it." Well, people usually don't know about things that they are not interested in.
Another question: why politicians pick the topic of cloning, not the topic of free health care? I think it is because politicians like the new things( that will actually be beneficial) and they don't care about citizens. To me, topics of coning is not my business, I mean I don't find any meanings of discussing cloning, because I feel it is far from realistic. There are many everyday problems that we have to consider.
