Is cloning morally acceptable? But why the need of a clone in the first place? Is it of utmost importance to create some one like your own by spending a great deal of money and time and effort when you cannot realistically compare the two? For one will have to wait a great deal of time for the clone to reach his/her age by which time he would have aged twice as much more. What is the point in cloning an individual if a face to face comparison cannot be possible? Although some of the motives put behind making cloning legal are hopes to create great individuals, scientists, etc whose mental and artistic or genius prowess is indispensable.
