Speaking of cloning, did anyone catch the airing of the Peter Graves movie on the Sci Fi Channel Saturday morning on Mystery Science Theatre? I caught the last half of it & I think it was called "Cloneus" or something like that. Anyway the basic plot was using clones for extra body parts. They were said to be "not human."
Kind of makes you think. Personally, if they are going to harvest clone's organs to live past 100 years or whatever, they could at least use the clone's skin too.
As to who should be cloned first, my vote goes Abe Lincoln. Imagine his shock of seeing the modern world (actually, there was a short story in the Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction that had Lincoln time travel to the present day & it was really weird).
I could see using clones in mutation experiments. Who knows if aliens are actually mutated clones from the future trying to warn us not to tamper with cloning.
