Now they are embracing that view. Pro-choicers, too, are in danger of wandering astray. In the Senate, Feinstein submitted a letter from the libertarian Cato Institute suggesting that cloning could eventually be accepted as a solution to infertility. But in cloning, she needs no such defense, because she isn't pregnant yet. Some pro-choicers pretend that cloning is just a small step from gay parenthood and in vitro fertilization, but it's not.
Cloning abolishes the genetic difference between parent and child.
So if Heather's mommy has a husband and daughter, then genetically, Heather is her sister's mommy and her daddy's wife. The argument becomes even more pernicious when coupled with the view, advanced by some abortion rights advocates, that bodily integrity is a property right. To have that DNA cloned into another extended life is part and parcel of his or her right to control his or her own reproduction. If that's true, then you own your clone. Furthermore, if DNA is property, it can be sold.
