The potential for abuse in cloning is limitless. But, like everything else, you can't stop it - you can only slow it down.

For some reason, I have a head full of cloning nightmare scenarios ranging from cloned cyborg armies grown in secret then sprung, the emergence of a new worldwide worker subclass with diminished rights, bio-mechanical computers with brain-stem controllers, pre-lobotomized testing subjects for "non-human" human tests and trials, the list just goes on forever.

Its all fun and games until someone unleashes an army of superhuman automatons. Sounds nuts, I realize but the theoretical obstacles are already being worked through in places far beneath the ground.
