O Brave New World that has such idiots in it!
Some genius at the Indian Express has written an article on cloning.
Filter Coffee sharply criticizes the article, in effect calling it fiction masquerading as an editorial. He is right.

The article is too silly even to be picked apart, but for what it is worth, the fallacy it peddles is genetic essentialism.

There are many misconceptions about human cloning. For example, some people apparently believe that cloning can bring back or replace a dead child or other loved one. They have bought into a popular but na?ve idea of genetic essentialism-that genes are a recipe for making the same person. However, considering the case of the natural clones called twins helps us think clearly about what clones produced in vitro would be like. Twins are clearly distinct individuals with different points of view because twins have two different bodies and two different brains. Individuality does not reside in our genes, but in our brains and bodies. (Ronald Bailey – Reason Online)
