    Hands down is already happened (Speculation here). Asking forgiveness has always been easier than permission. Look at the Chinese girls genetically altered to supposedly give them an hiv resistance. They got in trouble sure but they did it before a law was passed saying they couldn’t. No law technically exists to stop human cloning. Just precedence that we all too well know means nothing anymore.

      I really don’t want to peddle conspiracy, but if we’re talking speculation… I’ve heard speculation that human clones could be used for organ harvesting to extend the life of someone. Specifically, this theory was floating around when someone overheard Putin and Xi talking about living to 150 years old (or something to that effect).
