Hello everyone!

I was taking my daily look at CNN.com to see what kind of aweful events have occured in the world today when I saw this article:
http://www.cnn.com/2002/HEALTH/08/13...nna/index.html

Turns out that this couple would like to clone themselves as their children. Confused? I sure am! Now, I'm not one to say whether this is right or wrong, and that isn't what this post is about, but what do you do when your child is in their teenage years and they look exactly like you (assuming that there are no major defects that occur with this procedure, which there will almost undoubtably will be)?

Personally, I think this couple is just looking for attention, as they could easily use a sperm donor and a invitro fertilization of another parent just as easily, but for some reason they wish to clone themselves...maybe this is some narcisitic excuse to try and create a better them. The thing that bothered me the most about this entire article is when they are asked why they didn't just want to adopt a child from another country, and the wife says that they are already abused and that they come with baggage. What kind of a human being that hopes to be a parent says that about a child? Is it just me or are they treating their child as if it was a car they were hoping to purchase?

In my opinion, these people aren't fit to be parents because if they will go so far as to want a cloned baby, it is easy to see them being the type of parents that force certain activities down their children's throats. Ugh, it sickens me...
