A Slippery Slope, don't forget these words 'cause they mean: Once "they" get
started they won't stop. This is the best argument of them all. In ten or
twenty years we will discuss under which conditions what kind of clones are
ethical and which are not.

Can't tell about the second half of the sentence, but about the
inevitability I'd like to hear more arguments, but really I'd like to hear
more on the absolute necessity of doing so.
Inevitable meaning "that cannot be avoided" and "that is sure to happen" --
yes, then you're right. But absolutely necessary -- no, I don't think so.
