Supporting quotations
"Why cloning people is a good idea". Everything 2 - "What about the cloned child? How do they feel? That depends very heavily on how they are treated. Eventually cloning will be so common that it will no longer be "special" to be a clone. These children will then feel as normal as any other. Who are their parents? The answer is whoever we tell them their parents are. There might be one parent or two, but no child would be cloned without someone to look after them. How about relationships? Is the person they are cloned from their father or brother? The answer is whoever the source chooses to be. He or she might choose to be a parent or a brother or even just a friend. Where your genes come from has always determined relationships in the past, but need not do so in the future."
