Back to your article: Let me give you a recent example. I recently wrote a piece, based on a book by Sylvia Ann Hewlett, in which I talked about the growing trend of childlessness among successful women. Many of the women Hewlett talked to for her book, including many who were happily married, didn't plan to be childless, as they made poignantly clear. It was almost as though childlessness caught them by surprise while they were focused on their successful careers. This is sad because these capable women should be the ones passing on their genes. Not the welfare bums and those people on the dole. I suppose in the future these women will be more able to hire surrogates to have their children while they enjoy business success. Perhaps cloning successful happy people is an option that should be considered. I suppose schizophrenics and people who suffer from advanced mental illness will want their voices heard and lobby they should be cloned to.
