All the familiarity of the bizarre in sci-fi pop-culture makes it easy for people easily ignore the issue of cloning, too, is my impression. You say (or, I say, since that happens every now and again) “cloning” and many think black-and-white Twilight Zone reruns or anything on the SciFi Network, etc. You can’t be serious, in other words. And it doesn’t help that nuts like the Raelians get as much airtime as the South Korean scientists who are doing real cloning work. I typically get the impression most people don’t think this debate is all that real.
