For long i playing around with my thought process and an idea which came out charging is tormenting my senses and .i.e Cloning, the word which causes tremors in religious circle is going to be the darling of the 21 war.
Looking at the number of body bags which are sent every month to US, some in the federal government would have been sitting through the night thinking of various possibilities of explanation to the people. It can put in this manner "liability of, by and for the people", of course he cannot give this statement. So where does cloning comes into the picture?. First let us see how the liability of the governments reduced. I hope people would heave heard about "Black water Inc", it is company which give training in armed combat. This company is
providing armed mercenaries for the US army, the figure is around 10,000 heads, the largest standing private army in US / World. But still there is a liability of answering the people ....
Now if some entity starts cloning complete human being, then the question arise how about the time zone before they can deployed. Well we can increase the metabolic rate of growth. It will decrease the lifetime of the clone, but that is good side effect. Now think if we want to fight the war we send clones who have no parents and therefore no liability. Added to this we can generate genetically modified clone who has superior feature, feature are left to the readers imagination, which will enable victory without much ado. Yes censor of the media is required other wise they will have some thing to lament about.
Genetic variation increase rapidly when the life cycle of a species reduces. Now we have fast results for genetic medicine which will be tested via clones.Even before humanoid robots come to existence clones will playing a greater role.
This is just idea, it is an view from my understanding of science with lots of "if " and "buts" added and hope this never happens.
