To that cloning comment above, first off realize you don't own your genes, they belong to the human race. Second, think of them as blue prints, we can build identitical houses and have different families live in each. If you were cloned it'd be just like having a twin, no one is stealing your soul.
It used to be that we needed to focus on raising kids since most people didn't live past 30, and a new kid could mean 1-5 more people that he could produce. Now, it takes so much resources and training to produce a productive member of society as well as already having enough people that we need to concentrate on the successful adults to really move forward as a race. Ill leave it at that.
