Cloning in science fiction is not like the cloning in real life. In science fiction human clones are are adults in 1 day. Real clones are babies created with 1 parent. It is a copy of you with the same fingerprint but it wont have your memories. Your clone will not have your memory, they will be their own person. The reason why human cloning is not legal... Animal clones have shorter lives. Dolly the sheep died because her being a clone got her imperfect organs. Back to the Human clone topic, A clone's may not have the same sexuality or gender identity as you. A clone may look like you but they will become their own person. It just your twin who is a baby.

Would they really have the same fingerprint? Woi! I knew they would be in baby form first which made me wonder so why the fascination with cloning. Except for the fingerprint, I guess you could say I'm my mother's clone. The fingerprint though! Even identical twins don't have the same fingerprints so this is...😮 There goes another reason something like this would be illegal.

Yes clones will have the same fingerprint. I think about cloning.... Why try to recruit Basketball player if you can make a team of Michael Jordan Clones. I heard Gay Couples are also interested with cloning because it is one of the ways they can give their parents biological grand children.... (surrogacy sounds like the better option for them)

Clones have defected organs since no sperm is used to make them.

With the basketball team clones you would have to wait a number of years though. That, and they might not have the same abilities as Jordan (or whomever they were cloned from).

A lot of 2nd generation kids inherit the talents of their parents though. That's why we have dynasties in entertainment and sports industry

Ok, in that case you can see how business people would be cloning left, right and centre for their own selfish gains. I can't imagine it being because they love lives so much. Money oh!

One of the reasons why cloning humans is still legal. Animal clones have defected organs, Dolly the Sheep died earlier than expected.

If you want see good movie about this topic, I suggest The Island from 2005 year.

[+] Spoiler

It is about island full of people who are clones of rich people. They were made so they organs can go to rich who were deadly sick.

Human organs can be cloned now though, without the human.
