Science Fiction has invented clones before they became real. So far, most 
countries have laws to prevent cloning of humans. I expect sooner or later 
someone will be tempted and it is not a law that will change anything.
Most scientists are responsible people but research will always continue. 
The 
Atom bomb was/is a horror. People got used to it....to the point of not 
wanting to destroy any nuclear armament which is as big a threat to 
humanity 
as cloning. There is a good, or at least a potentially good side to stem 
cell 
research. What is the good side of nuclear weapons?
