I say let 'em do the cloning. We would probably be ages ahead of ourselves if it weren't for all of the people and lobbying groups against advancing science and technology in various fields.

You name it, there's a group of individuals somewhere trying to fight it. Even political and economical concepts get that same treatment.
At the rate it's going, America will be far behind all of the other countries due to the fact that American opinions matter too much. Even the really stupid opinions. Freedom of speech is nice sometimes, but it's very often one of our own handicaps.
