The question in lines 18-20 (Why else . . . first place) chiefly serves to suggest the value perceived in a person who might be selected for cloning.
- "If they didn't clone from the top basketball player, mathematician, beauty queen, or even dear old dad in the first place, why else would they do it?" - this claim implies that cloning is carried out with the understanding that the cloned version will possess at least some characteristics of the original.
- If this weren't the case, then why would they choose to clone famous basketball players, mathematicians, or beauty queens when each of them has some value on their own?
- E is the best response in this situation.
