As many political writers have pointed out, commitment to political equality is not an empirical claim that people are clones.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Imitation is the highest form of flattery, but clones kind of get it wrong because we are promoting individuality and being proud of being yourself.
It's quite comforting to me as an individualist that we're not very close to being clones of one other.
The word 'equality' shows up too much in our founding documents for anyone to pretend it's not the American way.
We have to wake up. We have to refuse to be a clone.
There are a lot of people highly motivated to be the first to clone a human.
Nobody really believes in equality anyway.
Every human being has an assortment of diverse identities, and it greatly matters which one is triggered by social situations, which hold up different kinds of mirrors. The same is true for nations.
I know imitation is the highest form of flattery, but stealing one's identity is totally different.
Everybody thinks that equality comes from identifying people, and that's not where equality comes from.
Like the 'test tube babies' born of in vitro fertilization, cloned children need not be identifiable, much less freaks or outcasts.
