The genie will get out of the bottle no matter what we do. I do not believe that there is any way to stop surreptitious illegal cloning.

I agree. I can also see why some might want to go on record against it by making it illegal. My libertarian self wouldn't go there, either.

And in some countries, probably it will even be legal. And not need to be surrepitious.

Question: if a US citizen goes to a country where cloning is legal, has a cloned baby implanted, returns to the US and has the baby, is there any basis for denying the child full citizenship? Would this legalize the process as far as the US is concerned?
