DNA is DNA. We’ll soon be at a point where it is of negligible effort to create a healthy clone, or just mix ‘n match in a test tube. None of which matters, and none of which impacts ethics, as long as the new life produced is free of genetic disease or intentionally life-threatening flaws. We are all related somewhere in our line.
