#2 I will be amazed if there aren't already efforts to DNA transplant selected individuals DNA into fertile embryos.

But there is the inherent problem of "aged" DNA, so it is important to get a DNA sample when the person to be cloned is young.

Wealthy egoists would pay a fortune to breed dozens of themselves.

#3 The kind of people who become wealthy also tend to be very independent. I imagine there would soon be mutters of, "How sharper than a serpent's tooth..." about their ungrateful twins. Agreed about the aged DNA issue as well -- a real issue, since most people don't become rich in their early youth, and later will be too late.
