Mike:

We're faced with them now. I'm afraid fear is driving the media and the majority of those "wise" men and women in government. Cloning is neither good nor bad in itself, like anything else it is what a human mind decides to do with it. Human cloning will happen whether the U.S. wants it or not. If they outlaw it, I predict that years down the line the U.S. will have to institute a crash program to catch up.

On some of the radio talk shows I've heard such idiocy as "there are things Man is not meant to know" -- lines just like some of the old 50s "B" sci-fi and horror flicks.

Actually, no one is shuddering about those septuplets -- and they are all 'natural' clones, as are all twins, triplets, etc.

Cloning also hold the promise of increasing the human lifespan to 600 years. Of course we'll have to have cities on the Moon, Mars, Titan, and perhaps a few nearby star systems by then. But then the meek don't want that, they want to inherit the earth!
