I've never heard of declawing up to now - I'm pretty sure it's illegal to surgically alter animals for anything other than control of fertility or repairing injury in the UK. I know that they chnged the law a couple of years back to ban pinning ears and docking tails on horses and dogs.
When I had cats I clipped their claws.
As indoor cats they didn't scratch the furniture for a few weeks and as long as I cut their claws fairly regularly (3-4 weeks) they never caused a problem.
I never managed to stop them crapping on the bathroom floor if their littrbox wasn't daisy-fresh though - but I did train them to pee in the bath rather than on the carpets.

In labyrinths of Coral Caves,
The Echo of a distant time
Comes willowing across the sand;
And everthing is Green and Submarine
