<sigh> Cloning is not the emotional issue, genetic engineering is, IMO. The problem is the unwashed masses tend to associate one as always occuring with the other. Cloning people... well, I guess it depends on why. I don't see a compelling reason to let people do so, but I don't see an overwhelming reason not to either. What DOES need to be done is to have some system set up to determine who has legal custody over clones.

And creating a clone of a person without their express consent for any reason should be flat out. No way.

Genetic engineering is a whole 'nother discussion, methinks.
