Except for lab animals (I can see some advantage to testing different substances on genetically identical animals) what is the point of cloning?

YOUR GENES ARE NOT THAT SPECIAL!

And why would you want to deliberately saddle a child with your physical problems? Far better to have a child the regular way with a mate that is (hopefully) either smarter, better looking, more healthy or saner then you are.

What really worries me is the possibility of clones being classed as other then the "late born twins" that they are. What they did in South Korea is gut wrenching. They killed a child. Just for his cells. And that, to them, is just peachy.

The Gay/Lesbian lobby will love it as way to pretend that they can have a normal family.

Can you provide a reference? Given other societies' lack of reverence for life, I can believe it. I just want to know for sure.
