Wrong. When is the last time you have demanded that your Palm is running the newest dragonball processor? Quite simply, in niche technology, marketing to the masses is wasted money.
To examine the ethics of cloning, we need to understand the basis that people look at cloning.
First let's set the foundation, by looking at origans. We either believe one of two things.
We believe that God created us in his own image.
We believe in evolutionary development.
I am not arguing either point, however, if we believe that God created us in his own image, it would truly be the devil's work in "playing God". Things of this nature are to be left to a higher power.
If we believe in evolution, we find that in cloning the exact structure of an existing organism, we are in essence taking a snapshot of the evolutionary picture. Instead of allowing advances in development, we, by cloning, are freezing the scale. This goes in direct conflict with what is natural... thus it should also be discouraged.
Or something like that.

Of course, having a robot president would be kinda cool!
Today, the world was introduced to the Physically Integrated Digital Periperal System and Binary Support Solution (PIDPSBSS). Whenever you have a problem, just put this dandy "resource" to work. It can fix all your problems, even not related to its own field. Don't believe me...here is how our system works.
Debbie: Darn...the computer doesn't work again. Oh well, so what if it is 3:30 in the morning. Let's give our physically integrated digital peripheral system a call...it's not like there is anything else it could be doing!
And it's just like that! No sooner than when you put down that phone, your computer should be fixed! Anything less is unacceptable. This is support darn it! No, rather, why should you even have to tell the PIDPSBSS that there is a problem. Just yell at it, when it comes to fix it!
Forget where you saved a document? Blame the PIDPSBSS. Forget your password? Blame the PIDPSBSS. Computer won't boot to windows, because you turned it off wrong too many times? Blame the PIDPSBSS.
The PIDPSBSS doesn't need to sleep or eat. It also enjoys verbal harassment from all levels of the staff.
Janitor X: "Hey PIDPSBSS...I still get more chicks than you!"
Company President Y: "Oh, PIDPSBSS. After you are done deleting porno cookies from my cache, would you shine my shoes up a bit?"
No, the PIDPSBSS has no pride. Rumor is that it has no genitals...or at least no sex life.
That's not all! The PIDPSBSS brings comedy to the job. One can occasionally see managemnet laughing at the PIDPSBSS groveling for extra tools to do the job. (Of course, it doesn't need anything more...like anyone has a budget for that!)
PIDPSBSS doesn't argue nor complain. PIDPSBSS likes spending hours digging your computer out from under tons of mementos and ugly portaits of your family. It reminds the PIDPSBSS what it could be missing in domestic-land, while fixing your home PC on its lunch break.
If you need telecom work, you know who to call. A copier broke? So what if the PIDPSBSS has no training regarding copiers...it has wires and stuff, so it can't be that far from a computer.
So make sure you (ab)use your PIDPSBSS today. Also being sold as System Admin Bob.

The funny part is when I read your comment, I
didn't get it... until I remember that you spell tmp T E M P.
