 Why does the author say that the imposing the ban was a contradiction by whom it was imposed?
Bills are in the works in both houses of Congress to outlaw human cloning--a step urged on all governments by the pope himself. When Clinton says, "Let us resist the temptation to copy ourselves," it comes from a man not known for resisting other temptations of the flesh. There is nothing like banning the nonexistent to show true leadership. He also openly claims the authority to decide how people reproduce. But calling for secular governments to implement a ban, thus extending his power beyond those he can persuade, shows rather explicitly that the pope does not respect the freedom of others. They have their own identities, their own thoughts, and their own rights.
 Because he is known for not resisting temptation of the flesh
 Because he has shown interest in cloning himself  Because he lacked the means to ban cloning  Because he is known for not resisting temptation of the flesh  Because he was only banning the nonexistent to show power
