Could you point to a source re/ cloning? What you say seems right w.r.t. to eugenics, and cloning is vaguely related to eugenics by being about applying technology to reproduction. My quick look, though, didn’t find arguments about cloning mentioning Nazis. The influence could be hidden though, so maybe there’s some social scientist who’s tracked the anthropology of the taboo on cloning. As another example, consider gain-of-function research. I don’t think that taboo is about WWII, I think it’s about, like, don’t create dangerous viruses. (Though that taboo is apparently maybe not strong enough.)
