Here is an interesting paper:
  D.N.Army: the Implications of Human Cloning on Future Military Forces
  by/par Major John L. Donovan
  http://www.cfcsc.dnd.ca/irc/nh/nh9798/0031.html#n1

I just loved this quote:

  "It's a horrendous crime to make a Xerox of someone. You're putting
   a human into a genetic straitjacket. For the first time, we've taken
   the principles of industrial design - quality control, predictability -
   and applied them to a human being.
                 -- Jeremy Rifkin

If the quote were an accurate representation of the situation, it might
be interesting, but it isn't so, it is just sound and fury signifying
nothing.
