Scientist clones embryo from own cell

What an awesome breakthrough...

But many questions still need to be pondered...

Does someone own a cloned human or is he a free person? If I clone myself for organs, is it murder when I kill the clone to harvest those organs? If my clone commits a crime and leaves my DNA at the crime scene, will the cops come after me?

Well, at least we know they're safe to eat :)

What if the clone kills the original, harvests his organs, and eats the remains? :D

Chip off the old block topic
Cell-ular phony topic

Oh, the thinks I could think.
Oh, the says I could say.
Send in the clones.
Eat me.
Let them do our dirty work.

Oh, the irony of a rose by any other name!

Just when you think you have read it all.
