The interesting one for me would be dumping 200 Einsteins into the
populace and seeing what happened. The massive necessity of this logic
must have somehow been lost on the rest of the human race, insofar as
women haven't flocked to that sperm bank for geniuses someone started.
I mean, I know that genius isn't heritable, but the kids aren't likely
to be dumb either. Geez, give your kid a minimum IQ of 130, is that so
much to ask? In retrospect, wouldn't you rather have had those
Nobel-winning genes? So nobody will take advantage of the powers of
cloning, either.
I'd better stop before I depress myself.
