I personally don't care if abortions, cloning, gay marriages, etc. are moral or not. All I care about is the fact that a good portion of the United States seems set on forcing their view of morality upon me. [/whateverthehellthatstatementwas]
In terms of any lifeform being better than another, I say bullshit. As far as I'm concerned, we're all just a bunch of molecular reactions. The only thing that gives precedence to one lifeform over another is perception(ex. I love my mom, but I view a person walking their dog with about as much importance as the dog). Yes, I know this is a very selfish and ego-centric point of view. But be realistic, everyone views the world in the same way, although not necessarily to the same extent(i.e. they view the stranger as more important than the dog, but less important than their mother). We would all save our mother or loved one before a complete stranger.
I see cloning as no different a way of creating life than artificial insemmination, or in vitro fertilization. They are all methods of medically injecting genetic material into an egg. Cloning is just creating a twin. In my opinion the soul/spirit of all creatures forms within them as they become an independant creature, be it a single bacteria, plant or animal. I also believe there are different type of spirits, some form communally, some individually. Please don't ask me to elaborate, It's really complicated, and I'll probably just confuse you, myself, and make small children cry.
