Could specific and commercialized cloning be considered a form of slavery.

That's a lot of words for a very simple concept: Clone people, then enslave the clones.
This is roughly the same question as "Is owning people slavery?" and on the same intellectual level as asking "Are apples fruit?"
So, the answer to your non-question title is yes. This is slavery.
Now, if you want to debate whether or not clones are people, you might have a topic. I'll give you a quick hint, though: clones are people.
Alright, thanks. I'll try to improve on my later threads, if I make any.
Could an admin please lock or delete this to keep it from cluttering mass debate further.
It's not my place to tell you what to do. This could potentially be a debate because the word 'born' is up to interpretation, and most laws assume you have to be born to be a human. (There are very few, if any, non-born humans.)
I guess Blade Runner did manage to make this topic interesting. The idea is that calling a human a 'replicant' can lead to everyone believing they're not human, and this would allow for slavery or whatever.
Basically the same thing idea as racism driving slavery in America.
Instead of trying to somehow clone people, and make them suffer through slavery, you might as well create some sophisticated helper-robots for the job, whatever that may be.
