human cloning...

i want to know if anyone thinks its not ethical to clone humans...(please scientific people...no need for gOD talk)

No reason not to at all. The only reason stem cell research is banned here in the UK is because ONE female MP doesn't like the thought of dead embryos being used.

what about making clones...giving them a life...then killing them and taking there limbs for transplat...there humans to right...?

uk makes headless frogs...lmao thats great i must see that...!

Cloning limbs wouldn't work like that. the coding sequence for telling stem cells to grow into what body part is being decoded, albeit slowly.

Twenty five years from now I wouldn't be suprised if you could grow an arm, leg, heart or a full head of hair in a vat.

i know this guy here in canada got into a massive car accident...lost tons of brain cells and couldnt move his left side of his body...but he went to the states with a load of cash got a stem cell treatment now hes fine...but he still had a few lipses

i don't think it's right to clone, because the clone would know that they werent brought into the world out of love, but out of science.. and wouldn't it be so wierd to be the one who was cloned and litteraly have two of you walking around? wow...

How many children are accidents, mistakes, an after effect of a 5 minute drunken fumble?

Being a clone is purpose personified. You are WANTED, needed even.

And the clone would only know being a clone, so it wouldn't be wierd, it would be normal.

cloning for organs would be an enormous waste of money, unless you were cloning for baby organs. Clones are born as babies too, its not like they pop out somewhere full grown. You'd have to raise them for years on farms or something before harvesting them. I'd be a lot cheaper just to grow new organs, which is a process that is already being worked out to a greater extent than human cloning.

As far as the actual original topic goes, I think human cloning is a bad idea for practical reasons, not ethical ones. Do we really need to make more peopel just to say we can? People are having enough sex and making enough unwanted children as it is, I don't see why a bunch of clones should be chucked into the problem.

Stem cell research is different. It does involve, in most current cases, the killing of an embryo. That however, is a separate topic from human cloning. I can see the medical advantages of stem cell research... but how can human cloning contribute to any research at all?

i'm confused about the whole organ doning thing.. so... would we just kill the clone after we created it? that would be killing a person we made... wierd...

I agree with sean, isn't the world overpopulated enough?

canada isnt over populated we have tons of room here....send the clones here...

and does anyone find it wierd you can find someone who looks just liek you in the world...?

and theres really no such thing as morals anymore...
