I would never accuse you of being too subtle

But thanks for the clarification, which only shows what an odd reach you are making.
Again, I would suggest that between the very poor results of cloning to date, and the very large and widely held ethical questions regarding cloning humans, going very slowly is not inappropriate.
Your choice of mischaracterizing the motives of those who are concerned about human cloning as 'Lysenkoism', which was a corrupt intrusive psuedo-science claim trumped up to support stalin's police state is not something which advances the serious side of the debate at all.
Having grown up very near the Texas Medical Center where a great deal of research on medical advances takes place, I can tell you that xperimenting on humans is one of the very last things most experimental protcols engage in.
Animal cloning, it seems to me, would be much more appropriate at this time until a great deal more about the basic science of cloning is accomplished.
