DON'T PROHIBIT -- BUT REGULATE CLONING
Sweeping aside all ethical objections in eight quick paragraphs The Economist is arguing that we'd all be better off if we try to control and regulate human cloning rather than to prohibit it.

"Like the war on drugs, bans on supply will not cut off demand. The desperation of infertile or bereaved couples is as all consuming as any craving for dope. The only hope of restraining this yearning will be to give such people hope, talking openly about the risks of cloning for mothers and babies, and explaining that the technology is advancing slowly but surely until it is safe. Only then may people wait, as they do for many experimental therapies, rather than turn to the renegades."

I suppose we should print up some bumper stickers for them: "When clones are outlawed only outlaws will have clones"
