The cloning I have in mind is growing of separate organs and body parts, without a conscience. Its always nice to have some spare parts around when you need them. I am all for this kind of cloning.
The other kind of cloning that comes to mind is the "typical" kind... you know, exact duplicate of the host type of deal. I can see many powerful uses for this. For example, if someone very important (ie: a member of the cabinet) dies or is assassinated, he/she can be quickly replaced, as long as a clone can be quickly generated (like in The 6th Day) to keep the nation running.
A clone army could be raised, like those little Jango Fetts in Episode 2. (Uh oh.. I sense a tangent approaching) Does it bother anyone that the "good guys" in that movie used real live breathing people (clone Jangos) in their army, against the non-living droids of the bad guys? Shouldn't it be the good guys sending the droids in, to protect human life? (ok back to our regularly scheduled post..) I personally feel that clones are entitled to the same rights as the thing cloned, so this would be insane. But on the other hand, our boys would always come back home safe, even if they got killed in action...
Decisions decisions...
