Cloning Ethics

To start off, yes I am Caldari. I'm not some Amarr fanatic. This is not some overzealous rant about God's opinion on human cloning. That aside here we go;

I was a running low on cash and their were no assignments for me from Alpha Assembly so I decided to see if my favourite agent had any work for me. I hadn't worked with Erocque in a while and I felt it was time to drop in for a visit.

"Hey Er. Whats up?"

"Hiya. Have we met before? I can hardly keep track of my clients, there's simply too many of you!"

"Don't bullshit me like that you and I both know I have an 8.2 with you."

"Okay, okay! Don't get so touchy. What's going on, need a job?"

"Yea, preferably something that pays well."

"I've got just the thing. The Seven have shown their ugly faces in Mirilene and opened up and illegal brothel. You will have to head on over and break up their operation."

So of course I take the job and head on over. As I'm nearing the jump gate I find myself thinking there was something strange about the job, something familiar. I find the deadspace pocket that the brothel was set up in and clean out the patrol's. As I approach the building a familiar name shows up on my scanner.

"Kruul"

Suddenly it struck me. I had already disposed of this pirate in a previous mission no more then a year past yet here he was again.

What kind of society do we live in where a known pirate can have himself cloned?

I mean, obviously members of large associations like the Serpentis are afforded some benefits but The Seven are a small splinter cell of rogues. What has come to the Galaxy? What is the point of me destroying these criminals if they are just going to literaly reappear?

Besides the massive ISK I make of course.
