I come back to my Emerson quote, and wish every overbearing parent (whether biological, adoptive, or cloned) would heed it: "You're trying to make another you. One's enough." Possibly more than enough.Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02115141650963300011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6277984098153355193.post-28591917998954786592017-04-25T07:31:39.510-05:002017-04-25T07:31:39.510-05:00The idea of "clones as a new adoption alterna...The idea of "clones as a new adoption alternative" doesn't really sit right with me. As I understand it, many people who choose to adopt do so because they would rather provide opportunity for a child already in the world as opposed to making a new one. I guess the problem I have is looking at adoption (which I consider a loving gesture) as something requiring an alternative.<br />You could make the argument that it's an alternative for couples that want their own genetic children, but isn't there current technology that can accomplish that without delving into the potentially narcissistic and otherwise problematic pursuit of creating a genetic copy?
