> Like I feared, my tone did not come across in this post. I was being mildly sarcastic about the potential abuses of cloning, but I can still see some renegade scientist somewhere doing this. Just like I'm sure that there are renegade scientists out there trying to build a nuclear bomb. (Heck, Tom Clancy explains HOW in The Sum of All Fears, and the hardest part seems to be getting the materials. Which if you're dedicated enough to building the thing, you could do.)

All you really need to build a nuclear bomb is a half-dozen college graduates with degrees in chemistry and physics, a $50million lab and about $2million worth of uranium or Plutonium. If you want to make lots of bombs, that's the way to go.

If, on the other hand, you only want one bomb (SPECTRE-fasion), then you would be far better off buying one off the USSR (or more accuratly off one the states that used to be part of the USSR). That would set you back $5million, maybe?
