Edit

The donor’s parents are totally out of the picture, or you would be producing a sibling rather than a clone.

Exactly! Genetically speaking, that is what you are doing.

This is NOT the same as a normal conception where you have two different sets of chromosomes, as you do when you have a normal conception with both parents.

Didn't say it was a normal conception. Just as In Vitro isn't normal conception. Just as Egg or Sperm donation isn't normal conception.

This is something that cannot be disputed.

And to my knowledge, no one is disputing that.

A clone is always going to be different from a natural conception because of the perfect match of chromosomes.

Yep. And why is that a problem?

Cloning is achieved by altering the reproductive process

Yep, so are other methods. Different doesn't necessarily mean bad.

Why do you think society bans incest???? If in case you didn’t know, it is because the problems that can occur from interbreeding. Cloning would be worse than interbreeding. I don’t think you can understand that.

There is more then one reason for banning incest you realize. Inbreeding is only one of them. As for cloning being worse, you haven't shown why, you just assert it. BTW, when you have inbreeding, you increase the chance of 'bad' genes being expressed. You do NOT have that with cloning. I don't think you understand genetics enough to understand that. But I don't mean to be critical or insulting. If you don't want to discuss the why you think it is worse, that is fine. But to be honest, you give me the impression of having a bias that is unfounded. Think Snow!!!
