It bears remembering the eugenics of Pol Pot and Stalin, not just Hitler, in clearing "progressive society" of its misfits while on the path to the new world order populated by the new socialist ubermensch...
You are right, it is plain socialism. Cloning is socialism, whereby strength is not gauged by one's determination and efforts but by "gaining more immigrants" and what not.
It's not more funding, nor more men in Iraq, nor more immigrants for "Americans who do not want to do the job", but the actual will to fight and work. An army that has no will to fight is nothing, and that means trying to do more with less time, or to run the same time on a longer stretch. Cloning, like inbreeding and socialism engender decay: fighting spirit is not added in number, quite the contrary.
Fighting spirit is not added in number, quite the contrary, it is independent of numbers.
Liberals hate those families and a world that can make it in greater numbers with apparently less, is what I really meant in the end. THey are afraid of workers, real ones.
