[sci.nanotech] Cloning zombies

emmo@uunet.uu.net (Dave Emmerson) (07/07/89)

Whilst nobody wants to be cloned in order to supply
cheap/useless labour, (the old fashioned method remains
quicker, cheaper and MUCH more fun!), it would be nice
to be able to grow *perfect* tissue matched organs
for transplants. It scarcely seems immoral if the clone
is totally inanimate..

[I imagine no one could object if you understood gene expression well
 enough to grow the organ all by itself.  People might get antsy if
 you started growing whole bodies and cutting them apart.  Personally
 I don't see a fundamental difference, but then it takes all kinds...
