Whole Human CLoning (Score 1)

I think there are an awful lot of leaps in reason used in this piece. Maybe we should back up a little and examine the lack of a univeral ethic. Once the legality of cloning is established, and it will be, the next hurdle will most likely be the similar to parenting; clones start out as babies, right? And so far, at least in Western societies, anybody who can make one can have one, issues of moral responsibility and ownership aside. Cloning is likely to be available to those who can afford it rather than to those most likely to be good parents. With the problem of overcrowding our planet looming closer to our consciousness every day, it seems to me that cloning individuals is as irresponsible as it is, well, silly. But it will happen. THere will be good situations and bad ones, but attempting to regulate these situations is as ludicrously godlike as assuming that we can do a better job than Nature did in the first place.
