So I've looked into it. It's just IVF reproduction where you take the eggs nucleus out and you put a sonomic cell in (any body cell). Bam, baby.

It turns out all the complications with Dolly were chance and a lot of 100% successful clones have been done of all kinds of species. It's not even that expensive to pull off.

I think a lot of people come at the idea of cloning with the idea that a clone somehow ruins their "special unique identity as an individual" as if they are not just stupid walking shitting bags of meat which is threatening to them, it makes them confront the idea that they are not special and that they are actually quite disposable.

I feel like a lot of people look at cloning as somehow dehumanizing, that clones would be treated like... well like people in slave/sex trade are treated. They fell like it would suddenly commoditize humanity when in reality humans are an always have been a commodity.

Personally I have no problem with it but feel the value is not so much in cloning actual full people but cloning/growing organs.

Still we should be spending less time an effort with cloning and more time and effort focusing on building Kelly LeBrock robots.
