9. No doubt traditional religious organizations would not look kindly upon
Clones. I mean, a person engineered by people? This is beyond IVF. This is about replicating your gene to create a twin version of yourself. I believe legally, clones would be protected, but like blacks and gays, they'd be discriminated against. All this for what? If there's a good reason to clone a full human being, I'd be all ears. But all I can see right now is either organ exploitation or genetically vain parents. Neither reason seems good enough to open this Pandora's box. Not to mention it's incredibly dangerous right now. Dolly had a lot of problems. But we will reach a day when cloning will become doable. Should we? IMHO, no. Unless the whole world becomes largely sterile, which is a possibility.
