Hey, I didn't say it is pleasant, but nothing that involves surgery is pleasant. Have you seen those things on TLC or Discovery? It's disgusting, but the procedure itself would earn no condemnation except from the most extreme fanatics(the procedure being any that involves invasive surgery.)

My alternative, in the short run, would be preferable to cloning FULL humans right? After all, didn't some guy clone meat in a cylinder recently? It would be no different than that, and would be taken from YOUR genetic material.

Wrong.

Deliberately tampering with a human being's DNA solely to be able to say "it isn't human, REALLY" is pretty despicable.

What happens if your instructions don't work properly, and you create a human being with a brain--even an atrophied vestige of a brain? Gosh, what the heck do you do? Throw it in the dumpster?
