> Or maybe some guy gets curious some day and says, "Gee, I wonder if I'm a clone." They do a little research and lo and behold! They are! I don't know about you, but that would disappoint the hell out of me. More so than not being told I was adopted. I'd rather be adopted than cloned.

Hm. Sounds like a good e-business idea. "Send us a blood sample today and find out if you're a real live clone! Or do it for a friend--it makes a great gift!" The only problem would be the inevitable fad of people sticking each other with pins and joking about making sure they aren't a clone. There could also be a database of celebrities, so that, if you aren't a clone, you can find out which famous person you are most genetically similar with.
