I think we can safely hold that decision for at least a century when we're more informed about the possibilities and the costs. The US was originally the only nation with nuclear weapons. Of course we intended that it stay that way. Then the USSR had them. Then ... Along the way, the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty was signed to prevent further spread. SInce then several more nations have joined the club. Good job of holding the line. That would assume a total breakdown in our human values, the family, the US government and others like it, and planning wars twenty years in advance since that's how long it would take to breed soldiers. Seems to me that we're better off putting our energy into fostering democracy and capitalism so that that kind of environment never arises rather than getting hysterical about possible future misuses of cloning. So you think history has seen the last of the likes of Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Saddam, ..... ? Also, you ASSUME it will still take 20 years to grow an adult human. Given the sort of technology we're assuming, I find that highly unlikely.
