In-vitro fertilisation is routine now... the first occurrences were world-wide news. Cloning from embryonic cells is barely more remarkable - basically it's a created twin

Give some thought to who would want to produce a child who was a clone of himself rather than genetic combination. A narcissist, perhaps? Or a control freak? There may be a good, healthy reason or two, but I think that most people who would prefer a clone for a child rather than a little, unique individual would not make good parents or produce mentally heathy offspring. I don't see any reason why we would want to go there.
