And you know, I was okay with the concept of cloning, right up to the point where it was done by the Raelians. (I don't know enough about them to evaluate whether they actually qualify as a cult [which is based primarily on how much control the group hierarchy exerts over aspects of the member's daily life --- this is important to know when you have to explain on a regular basis to people that you yourself can't be in a cult when you're the sole member of your religion] but I know just enough to go, "You people are freaks. Sorry.")
On the other hand, now the debate is really open, rather than just theoretical reactionism. We can't just say "Cloning is wrong, period." Now there's a child who wouldn't have been born without it
