This was the clip from the 1957 Henry Fonda movie "12 angry men"
Throughout the film, the director is careful to give close up, very personal views of the actors... but, always as a 3rd party/close observer... except in this one 80 second clip, when the camera moves in, slowly eliminating all the other actors... then Henry Fonda turns and speaks directly to the viewer.
The data shows that this film completely changed American's views on the death penalty...
Transcript of Clayton's moral justification for creating the clone;
You saw what happened over there (Yemen)Your friends being sent home in a pine box...Why should we accept that If there is a better way?And look what we created.
Don't you think your country deserves a perfect version of you?There is no perfect version of me, or him, or anybody.
He was on his way to Yemen.Now thanks to you, his place is going to be taken by someone with parents.Someone who feels pain.Fear.Which we had edited out of him (the clone).Someone with just as many weaknesses, as the terrorists that we're trying to kill.And you going to tell me that's better?
So why not make a whole army of them?Yeah, why not?Think how many American families we can spare.Nobody's son, or daughter would ever have to die.No vet comes home with PTSD and kills himself.We can keep the whole world safe without any actual grief, so...Who would I be hurting?You're talking about people, Clay.
This is the most humane thing that Gemini's ever done...
Paramount (2019) - Will Smith plays is an elite assassin who's ready to call it quits, but his plan to retire gets turned upside down when he becomes the target of a mysterious operative trying to kill him, who turns out to be is a younger, faster, cloned version of himself. (wikipedia)
Like 12 Angry Men, this film was created to change America's views about cloning... as were Star Wars Clone Wars
Attack of the Clones (2002) and Revenge of the Sith (2005).
The Clone Wars are also the setting for three eponymous projects: a 2D animated series (2003–2005), a CGI film (2008), and a 3D CGI series (2008–2014, 2020)

Why?
(1997) At a laboratory in Scotland, a sheep named Dolly has turned science fiction into science fact. The sheep is cloned, an exact replica of its mother. Born without any input whatsoever from a male. There are doctors/businessmen who are willing and able to take that step and turn a tiny cell into an exact, living replica of the creature from whom the cell was taken...

So, you can bet that someone is already using his bio-tech to CLONE humans...
Hence, the need to change the world's view of clones...
