To Dragadon:

Evolution in Humans no longer occurs by Survival of the Fittest, it already occurs by Survival of the Best-Looking... Whether or not this is a good thing, it is a fact. Nothing will change if people are cloned - Natural Selection is already non-existant in Humans.

To add a little personal opinion, I think it is unfair that anybody is denied the opportunity to survive. I know your statements were in no way intended to suggest this, if we took them to their logical extreme, we would be killing people with genetic disorders at birth, so that their disorders are not passed on, and then we are back to Hitler's old ideas about Racial Purity...

To BD:

An honest question: Are you therefore against Abortion? Or, for that matter, Contraception? Because both of those advances prevent certain children who would have been born from being born...

It all depends on when you count a person as being a person. Foetuses are generally accepted as being people, but Embryos are merely collections of cells...

About the overpopulation issue - Why would the birth of a cloned human cause overpopulation any more than a normal birth would?

To those who seem to not know what cloning is, or maybe have watched too much Sci-Fi:

Clones are not meant to be identical to the original being. Genetically, they are the same, but like all living beings they must grow up. Presumably, they will not be brought up in identical conditions to that which their 'parents' were...
