"Blue Ink" by Nancy Fulda is a very well-written short story that doesn't take long to read, but certainly made me think.  Jason is just a little six-year-old boy with the ability to think for himself in his futuristic world, and he is going with his parents to be cloned for the first time. He is a bit anxious about the whole process, because he once talked to a clone and he is worried that his clone won't be happy.I won't give away any spoilers but I kept thinking while reading that this poor child must have felt like claustrophobics feel when first entering an MRI machine, only when Jason came out there would be a clone of him made.  He is much more compassionate than his parents, and through this child's thoughts and questions the story opens up a lot of questions for the reader to ponder about the ethics and morality of cloning humans, if we ever get to that point.  I, for one, hope not.A very good and entertaining short story that falls more into the science fiction genre than horror or fantasy.
