> If you think for one second that a cloned human infant would be hunted down by the pitchfork-and-flaming-torches wielding mob, you're either very innocent or very cynical, I can't decide which.

Ah. Well, maybe I did go a little over the top there. Yes, I did have the idea of the mob with torches and pitchforks (scythes? very possibly) but I do admit it's pretty unlikely to actually happen. You do get extremists in every bunch of people though; it's not ridiculous to think that maybe someone would be so against cloning that they would kill the child.
