I would be less concerned with the morality of cloning than the morality of what obligations the clones' creators will have towards them. Whether shooting out of a woman's vagina or coming out of a test tube, it's still a human being, and it deserves a normal upbringing and a loving family.
Of course, if we're only cloning to give childless families their own chidlren, perhaps someone should point out to these people the millions of orphans and foster children living in this country. When people talk of the freedom of writing, speaking or thinking I cannot choose but laugh. No such thing ever existed. No such thing now exists; but I hope it will exist. But it must be hundreds of years after you and I shall write and speak no more.
