Human Cloning.

I don't see anything wrong with it, for many of the reasons Stone mentioned.

In fact, with the paucity of organs available to needy patients, it would be immoral not to take advantage of this technology.

No, it wouldn't. YYou get what the fuck your born with. You born defective? TOUGH SHIT. You injured yourself? TOUGH SHIT. You deserve to have whatever the consiquence is, including death.

I am opposed to cloning because it goes against nature. If people trusted nature more, the planet wouldn't be in the crippled state it already is.

I also don't see how cloning is clear-cut but abortion isn't.

As far as helping needy people - there are already far too many people for the planet to support. Using technology in this fashion is only going to create more people to consume precious natural resources - I'd call forwarding cloning immoral in the face of these other, far more serious problems. Educate & supply the third world about birth control, for starters.

I think technological advances should be used to create new and efficient forms of fuel, and to try and fix the damaged environment. Humanity needs to put things right before trying to impose itself further.

Cloning can wait until the planet is better able to support the people it's going to create/save. But even then, I'll still be opposed to it.

My clone would probably end up more successful and better than me in most things, the bastard. :(

:p

personally, i dont think theyre anything wrong with cloning. i just think its a little strange that a couple would want to clone THEMSELFS.

thugg, please add me to your 'list'. id just love to be on it.
and i guess this means your against stem cell research too? dont give me that "its immorale, youre killing babies" bullshit. this stuff is going to help MILLIONS AND MILLIONS of people. but this is a different matter....

I like cloning just because it pisses off religious people :)

This couple should name their daughter "Rei" ha ha ha (not funny, Zerodash, not funny).

Or, they can name the child "Boba" (shut up Zerodash)

*Zerodash slaps himself*

i want to be cloned just to see if my conciousness could be two places at once and remain intact.

I don\'t understand the religious/moral argument against cloning. Like in almost any other matter, highly religious/moral types need to STFU, IMO. I could understand if someone/some country was attempting to genetically engineer super-soldiers (and clone them) or use clones for slave labor, but they\'re not. Your genetic makeup is yours alone, and I don\'t see where anyone comes off telling you what you can and can\'t do with it.

And that\'s ignoring the medical benefits.

The worst scenario would be perpetuated by the very nations that stay on the moral high horse and oppose cloning - where only the very rich could afford cloning or gene therapies in far-off nations, creating yet another class-based inequality.

We can clone Neanderthals and then laugh at how ugly they were (once again, not funny)

Ahahah, spoken like a true moralist. You're a jackass, you know.

Cloning will save lives. The only, the only issue available for discussion is whether we'd be violating God's law, some sort of eternal law, by using science to create life.
