virus: Clone Mr. Rogers

Now, I know that he might really not want that, but for the argument let's
play make believe. Make believe that I got a chance to talk to Mr. Rogers
before he died, and to cut to the chase he told me that he really didn't care
one way or another if somebody cloned him. He doesn't promote this, but he
doesn't care to prevent someone from it either, and so at my request he gives
me a few swabs of Mr. Rogers' DNA. He then tells me he likes me just the way
I am, and I return the sentiment.
Fade slowly out. Fade slowly back in the year 2008. Cloning is here.
Though some technical issues needed tinkering with, the breakthrough for
human cloning proved relatively easy, and now some cloned babies are living
as surprisingly healthy well adjusted three to four year olds. Initial tests
on Mr. Roger's DNA portend its developmental viability. What is the
ethically responsible Virian thing to do?
Love,

Why, let them be, of course. What would the problem be that we would have to address in a Virian way?
Sure, we could tell them that someone with the same genes had been successful at something, just in case they care.
