I totally disagree. We MUST begin a human cloning program NOW! Whether you like it or not, we are in a technological war with the other countries of the world. I have little doubt that other countries have secret human bioengineering project already in the works. Countries like India and Pakistan have very limited resources. Could you image what 100 Einstiens could do for their economy? They could make a thousand clones, and even if only 10% of them were super smart, they could dominate an industry. GuptaSoft would make Microsoft seem like small potatos.
The future is here. Does anybody really have doubt that 100 years from now parents won't be able to go into a gene center to pick out their baby from a catalog??? They will each leave a DNA sample and return to have the customized embryo implanted. It may be limited mostly to the rich at first, but it will happen. If it is banned in this country, parents will travel to a free country that does DNA on demand. What parent wouldn't want their child to be free of diseases, or live a long healthy life??? And while their at it, why should the kid be short like both of the parents. It is a slippery slope, so why stop there?? Green eyes, blonde hair, muscles of steel, the works... (although most parents would probably choose a child that looks like them).
It is my own personal feeling that changing DNA does not take away from the role of G-d. G-d does not deal in the physical, but with the immortal soul. DNA is everywhere, but only G-d can impart life. G-d's love is infinite, and I think even extends to clones.
