I'd agree with that. If we started doing the whole person, then we'd have ourselves in a hell of a moral/ethical mess. As if overpopulation weren't bad enough already, now we can duplicate every new person that's born, or have a set of quintuplets every year! As if that weren't bad enough, how do you deal with people returning babies when they don't come out perfect? "But doctor...it's only a clone!" No, cloning an entire person is not ethical.
If someone needs an organ transplant, this is perfect. Clone them a new one, and they're good as new- no donor needed. Liver, kidneys, eyes, stomach, lungs, even the heart and parts of the nervous system. Organ transplant would no longer require waiting in line for a compatible donor. If it's used for healing, and has no harmful side-effect, go for it.
"Arms discourage and keep the invader and plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property. Horrid mischief would ensue were (the law-abiding) deprived of the use of them." - Thomas Paine
Remember, kids: illiteracy is cool. If you took the time to read this, you are clearly a loser who will never get laid. You've been warned.
