Much of this rush to clone human beings and other animals has less to do with science than with money. There's big bucks to be made in the various medical arts of human reproduction and development. We may soon reach the point where the wealthy might decide to have themselves cloned, keep the results in storage, and thus act as their own organ donors. Others take a more idealistic approach to cloning. He may sound like a Dr. Goebbels, but Joseph Fletcher is as American as Mom, apple pie, and medical experimentation on human fetuses, both living and aborted.
Shrinkage is the answer.
If we can miniaturize radios, computers and ponies, we can miniaturize people. Therefore, I strongly suggest that we immediately initiate efforts, through cloning and genetic selection, to make every human being on the planet three feet tall. Such a reduction in the height of human beings would bring innumerable advantages. Shorter people would eat less food, use less material for clothing, and sleep in smaller beds. We could build smaller golf courses, smaller swimming pools, and smaller cemetaries.
