Exactly. No government agent can be held accountable for his or her
actions if its his or her secret clone doing the dirty deeds while they
are ensconced in their office with plenty of witnesses to provide the
alibi.
Legal impact of cloning: having an alibi is no longer evidence of
innocence. Thus any one can say anything about you, and if they can
fabricate any evidence, you are screwed. Thus clones should be at least
serialized in their DNA. Every natural born or first generation
individual gets a 0 or 1 serial number, with every clone derivative
getting successive serial numbers. WHo wants the number of the beast?
