This is why I didn't want to talk about cloning. Most people are ignorant and don't even realize what the issue is.
A clone is a normal, living breathing, individual. A clone is NOT the person they were created from. They are different people, with different lives and beliefs. They are more like a twin, but much younger since they take just as long to develope as a normal baby.
So a clone of your worst enemy could easily be your best friend, depending on how they were raised. It would be wrong to judge the five enemy clones just because they are physically identical to someone you don't like. You wouldn't have an army of cloned Hitlers, that is ridiculous and if attempted pointless because you could have the same results if you raised an army of normal people.
I personally don't see any point to cloning. There are probably benefits from other genetics research, but I can't think of any good reasons why anyone would need a cloned child.
