Accepting your child may grow to hate you should be a pre-requisite for any aspiring parent. What we are doing is not "sane"[0]. Perhaps I am biased since I live in Southern California which is the Mecca for children of dysfunctional families.

[0] Opening paragraph of Anna Karenina, Tolstoy

> Most likely, your clone-child would grow to hate you. Why not just do things the sane way and marry a nice woman and have a child with her?

why is that 'most likely'?

certainly very few people would say that so bluntly to anyone interested in natural child rearing or adoption -- why does this circumstance permit one to make such a blunt and likely ill-informed (we don't have a lot of experience with human clones..) statement?
