Do you think that it is actually desirable or preferable that the
nation/state will decide which technologies you can and can't use in
your attempts to continue to live and advance? Or merely inevitable?
If you think that it is not preferable then by what means or what do you
propose to escape being limited by the votes of the majority or the
edict of this or that politician in these matters?
Ethics involving clones and associated technology is an interesting
topic. It short circuits it to say that the nation/state will decide and
simply stop there.
