Driving through Iowa in the 50s I remember seeing signs on the cornfields touting this or that hybrid. I understood that the corn they grew had to be planted with factory seed because the hybrid wouldn't reproduce itself. Maybe cloning isn't quite as outrageous as genetic engineering. There are people who want the genetic engineering here and now for themselves and their children. I think it is a Bad Idea. A lot of people want only perfect babies, and soon they will want only the new, improved, hybrid perfect babies--factory seed.
