At a symposium of Ciba Foudation in 1962 J.B.S. Haldane, a gene scientist, had a statement about "Biological possibilities for human race in the next ten thousand years".
Haldane predicted among other things:
"When replanting by cloning should be possible, most of clones would be done from persons at least 50 years old; just athletes and dancers would be cloned younger. Deserved people would be chosen. But sometimes even hazard would rule. The cloned descendants of Arthur Rimdaud could under good circumstances show none interest to poesy and become just secondary building contractors. Those clones would not be cultivated further on. Other clones would be non-sexual descendants of people with very rear predispositions of problematic value, e.g.: permanent obscurity, missing sensitivity of pain and special ability on visceral perception and control.
Hundred year old people would, if it were possible and without risk for health, be cloned on principle; not because longevity would be desired, but because references about possible desirability would be needed.
