Allow me to raise one tiny issue (it was likely more complex than Mister Smith wished to delve with this essay): "If the cloning procedure worked, a new human life would commence that would, in essence, be my identical embryonic twin." Smith ... True identical twins have their mitochondrial DNA complement from a single mother source; with cloning the mitochondrial grains will be from a completely different DNA source and have already shown to toss an unknown variable into the 'identical' characterization in cat cloning, for instance, and maybe one big reason so many cloned embryos are rejected from implanting before one is viable to birth in mammals. ACT of Worcester, Mass is trying to produce parthenotes partly because of this variability, so the cloned being could be derived solely from the patients unique DNA in nucleus and mitochondria. The 'perfected cloned being would then be the ideal source for body parts to treat the older donor DNA source. It's cannibalism these wunderkind have in store for US ...
