The biggest worry for me is that these balloons don't actually know what they are doing. They are experimenting (read, trial and error).
The worst part is that they are experimenting on people, yes a clone really would be a person, not an IT. They are creating someone to experiment on, assuming to 'own' the person they create.
Sound familiar to anyone?
This has too many historical scaries without layering any of the extra hypocritical religious stuff on top.
