This is as blind as the first statement is ill-informed.
Cloning does not produce carbon copies of individuals. Your own
egocentric angst against religion, your favorite hobby-horse,
cannot be fed with the fatuous hay you make claiming religiosity
is the culprit when ignorance is more than sufficient
explanation and much more simple to address. The article had
some other errors of ignorance but it certainly was not a
religious screed against cloning by any stretch of the
imagination.
