Immoral. Period. I say that mainly because of the abuse and human cruelty that you damn well know will happen even on our continent. Clones will be grown and later operated on and or killed for the organs. I saw a movie about this it seems like.

I liken my example to that of teleportation. At the beginning of the process, a person is disassembled down to quantum particles, his structure is recorded and his "map" is transferred to his intended destination.


I think it works more like a photocopier

The copies are lower quality than the original

If you ever watched "The Prestige" and you realize the Telsa transmission box was just making duplicates, not teleporting the original.

I agree. To me there's just no upside to cloning people. Because of epigenetics there can never be a complete duplicate of anyone anyway. Cloning would just be a bizarre form of reproduction.

Right. The original is destroyed in a teleportation device. Same with cloning the brain in my example, IMO.
