Endlessly debating about the details of such a process ignores a bigger, more important question: Should we clone, just because we are able to?
Humankind cannot solve any of its major problems, such as crime, greed, dishonesty, etc. While individuals can be competent and intelligent, society as a whole has demonstrated that it is not. We are not capable of making sound judgments as to when/who to clone. Man was created by God, not by man, and the Bible states: "It does not belong to man even to direct his step."
If we can't even direct our own step (the smallest measure of forward progress), why do we think cloning will be an advancement, and not a complete disaster?
