I t's safe to say that one is not overly enamoured of the idea of human cloning. Just imagine how distressing it would be to see one's enemies safely lowered into the earth only to look up and see a new version of them standing there by the grave, large as life. We may not be quite there yet, but when the technology catches up with the science fiction, it's safe to bet that those with more money than sense will be queuing around the block to take advantage at least, if Barbara Streisand's example is anything to go by.
