You don't really believe it will stop there, do you?

I think we can safely hold that decision for at least a century when we're more informed about the possibilities and the costs.

If the world ever becomes such a place that humans are bread like dogs in puppy farms, I guess someone will want to breed soldiers. 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.
