Cloning brings up all sorts of images and possible horrors.
The list could go on and on. The mainline medical community is condemning such a move and religious leaders are condemning the idea on moral grounds. Ah, but the idea of replicating someone just like us has a powerful pull for many, and not just couples who cannot have children. This possibility of cloning opens up all kinds of avenues. Just think of all the good that could be done in the world.
