someone must have told him “go clone yourself!”

despite the ethical considerations, I can’t see the genie being put back in the bottle anymore than it happened with nuclear weapons.

In America we can have a constitutional prohibition on such waste of human life. They seek to initiate life with no intention of bringing all of their science experiments to full term. At least with abortion, the fetus is an unplanned nuisance and not deliberately created to be cut apart.

True. I can see the 'life begins with conception' groups splitting on this. So even though it's a cloned embryo, it may become illegal to abort the the embryo at any time during it's gestation period because it would be the same as aborting a human being -- a baby. Therefore, they won't be able to do stem cell research anyway, unless it be in secret labs outside the law.

Can you spell, 'Black Market?'

I agree and this genie is every bit as bad if not worse than the nuclear genie. At this point, all the US can really do is push hard and try to maintain a position on the forefront of this technology.
