In case it hasn't been previously, let me make it perfectly clear that my
musings on this subject suppose use of cloned parts and whole bodies WITHOUT
functioning brains and associated consciousness and personalities. A human
clone that has been allowed to develop naturally from birth is, without
question, a full human being entitled to all the respect and expectations of
reciprocity inherent in that status.
