IMHO the only reason that hasn't been tried in court is because we can't clone humans from skin cells left in public.

Once we can, I'm sure someone's going to try to make a Michael Phelps or Barry Bonds.

"The Quail?" Joe spluttered. "He's about the most powerful man in the country. He's your enemy?"

"Sort of. He can't have sex unless I allow it."

Joe decided that big business was not among his aptitudes.

"Years ago, the Quail received a gene augmentation that gave him enough charm to succeed despite his lack of intellect. Since I'm the one who invented his personality genes, I hold the copyright on his character. The Quail can't reproduce without my permission. Nor can he retransmit or rebroadcast his genes without the expressed, written consent of WonkaGen Inc."
