The problem with this human cloning stuff (or any other commercial offer to 
genetically improve personality traits) is, that it will take about 20 years 
to see the result (i.e., the real personality of constructed mature human 
being). So, most probably, 20 years later we will see, that personality is 
more than just genes and that the promises are not fullfilled. nevertheless, 
during those 20 years market will be that well builded, that it probably will 
not be undonne anymore.
