Will Human Cloning Cause a Financial Crisis? - The Curious Capitalist - TIME.com

Will Human Cloning Cause a Financial Crisis? - The Curious Capitalist - TIME.com: "Recently, a nearly decade old paper on the economic effects of human cloning by a French economics professor has been getting some attention. The paper argues that rather than an army of low-level cloned workers or fighters as is predicted in Huxley's Brave New World or Star Wars, cloning will lead to more and more higher skilled workers. That's because the returns of cloning people who can make a lot of money will be higher than cloning average Joes. And when it comes to cloning, we're in it for the money, just like everything else. What's more, it will probably be only the rich who will be able to afford to clone themselves at the start."

  1. this whole cloning thing just seems unreal to me, human cloning is just.... wrong! i just herd about humans being cloned in south america and such and about the clone dies after a specific amount of time and other nonsense, i have no solid evidence to say that its true, but if it is. why do they die and not reproduce like we do??? because we are NOT GOD and should stop playing at it. the day that we do succeed is the day we as a race will parish, think about it....
