I was being facetious more than anything, to mess with religious nuts that talk about "souls". Unfortunately, sooner or later, someone is going to develop the technology to clone humans. It would then be inevitable that it will fall into the hands of sinister people. But I think they will have a hard time doing what they think they can do with cloning (because, really, cloning would only be a marginal improvement over good old eugenics, especially on any useful timescale). One could make a million clones of Hitler (tough without a million surrogate moms, but OK) and they wouldn't necessarily be anything like the Füher because Hitler was both a product of his genetics and the world in which he lived -- and plain old chance. I doubt simply having someone with a personality similar to Hitler's would bring around a Fourth Reich by itself. |
