Letter: Letters : Bye-bye boys

Published 22 March 1997

From D. W. Ewer

Great Missenden, Buckinghamshire

Hurrah for Dolly. Since the sex of a cloned baby will be that of the donor,
we can be rid of men who anyway, judging from history, seem to be a rather
violent bunch.

True, there may be emotional frustrations, but since both creative writing
and the products of the fine arts seem to have been encouraged by frustrations,
we can look forward to a peaceful, cultivated brave new world that does not have
such masculine creatures in it.
