Then how can you argue that we'd all use cosmetic engineering to make our kids look exactly the same?

but none the less...isn't it or won't it become risky or if not more risky in the long run? Are the consequences in the future being taken into consideration?

Why would it become risky all of a sudden if it wasn't already risky?

Ex: Let's say it's 2070 & we're cloning for medical reasons & we're all used to it by now...you know eventually it will be taken out of hand & used for the wrong reasons. Well thats how I feel at least.

No, I don't know that it will eventually get out of hand. You don't have any way to actually prove that at all. You're also making an argument from consequences, where because you -think- that A will lead to B, and you think that B is bad, you want to say that A is bad. But since you can't prove that B and only B will happen, and you haven't really proven that B is actually bad for everyone, you haven't proved that A is bad.

Ex2: Guns. Guns are legalized. We took that power as a whole, & totally took advantage of it. Look at all the violence.

Cum hoc ergo propter hoc. You're looking at guns, and a lot of violence and claiming that guns are responsible for the large amount of violence. Switzerland has mandatory military service for all citizens, everyone in the country has a military rifle and the training to use it, and they have one of the lowest crime rates on earth.
