Has anyone ever seen "The Clonus Horror"? I think that s what it was. It was about people growing clones to harvest for body parts. A couple of them exscape their "home" (where they were bred and grown) to try and start a normal life.

Anyway, the chick gets lobotomized and the guy ends up captured and killed fior his heart or something. it was bad enough to be used as an MST3K movie. But, it actually did a decent job of showing how evil it would be to create a clone simply to use as a repository for fresh organs.

They would be people, just carbon copies. but i think once they were born, no matter how they were born, they would still be humans, and therefore be afforded the rights that all humans are in this country.'

I could see someone being clever and changing the genes just enough to make them "not human", but that would risk the recipient of the organs regecting the genetically different tissue and defeat the whole purpose.
