Thou shalt not clone thy neighbour's wife. Which is why I married seven different ones.

DavidJS.
He would probably say "Do not have any other gods before me"... Exodus 20. That is, do not play God or try to do what He does. Its His Domain.
You shall not kill. That is, dont play with the egg and destroy it even in your little experiments.
Given time they would clone just about every class of human they wanted including leaders and soldiers and labourers. A ruling class and a coolie class.

Cloning George Bush will not produce another George Bush. It will only produce another grasping warped individual - of which the world has millions.

What makes you you is the unique set of experiences you have had which has written the large componennt of DNA capable of be written after your birth.

Thanks David for a well-informed and well-written article. So refreshing to hear from someone who believes that to be human is to be humane.

I don't see why I shouldn't be able to have myself cloned to provide myself organs if I need them. Can someone please explain to me why I shouldn't be able to use my own DNA to provide myself with these organs?

BN Did you know that there are 9 references to yourself in that little piece of me-ism ? Very Interesting.
