1. harvest cells only found in very young humans
reasons for cloning parts of humans:
1. getting transplants easily, but if the failure is genetic the other organ will also fail eventually
2. executive toys, eg a clone of your own hand wired up to your arm so you can wave your hand about via remote control...urr maybe not...
reasons for 'designer babies':
1. get rid of genetic diseases
2. choose the baby's eye colour, height, blood type, et cetera add infinitum!
