I haven't seriously looked at cloning in years. That was my main concern last time I seriously discussed it, and it seems like that's gone (also that you know a lot more than I do about it.) I guess my only issue since that's fixed is that a human clone is likely to turn into a human science experiment or a lifelong sideshow exhibit through no fault of his own.
