Leading British scientist Richard Dawkins says he accepts the idea of human cloning and would not object to his own daughter being cloned. That's all it is, there's nothing new about it, identical twins are clones. Anybody who objects to cloning on principle has to answer to all the identical twins in the world who might be insulted by the thought that there is something offensive about their very existence.
Clones are simply identical twins.
He also predicted that human cloning could potentially help some childless couples. Touching on a familiar theme, Dr Dawkins said he believed religious explanations for the meaning of life and the universe were false.
