That's all....

There is no possible way cloning could be used for medical reasons, such as cloning a person, then killing the clone and using its organs for organ transplant.....if that were legal, they'd just go out and kill hobos for organs...less costly...

What IS possible is stem cell research, where cells can be implanted into a patient to (hopefully) rebuild damaged areas, or cure diseases such as alzheimers.

There is no way you could order cloned parts to increase your life span, as clone cells grow at the exact same rate as human cells....all it is is implanted DNA, nothing special. You want a heart? Looks like you're gonna have to wait 20 years for it....but if you need a heart, you'll probably be dead by then.


So cloning is absolutely stupid, the only area that actually has medical possibilities is stem cell research, which yes, I do agree with.
i have learned that clones will never be exact copies of the human or animeal cloned for the reason that they may grow in different environments or in a different era entirly.

Re: are you for or against cloning?

Mankind fears things that are new and challenge on repetitive modern lives. As for myself, I'll say yes. I support cloning because of all the benefits it could bring mankind AND other species near extinction.

... People are afraid that clones will join evil armies or become murderers? Valid concern, but that happens with non-clones as well. I am one who believes that people are people irregardless of the way they are born. Besides, anyone who would want to make a clone army for that purpose isn't going to care about laws.

So I think we should allow stem-cell research and cloning of organs in regards to repairing lost tissue and organs. But what if we make a clone that is a human being?

My biggest concern would be if clones would have the same rights as us. I am a bit of humanist, meaning I am a bit of an optimist for humanity, so I would like to think we were open-minded enough to allow clones the full rights of human beings. It is genetically like being identical twins, and things like memory are transferred throug genetic cloning (at least as far as I know). Not usually anyway.

This said, I don't like the idea of cloning peope and then putting their clones on Say... an island. Then whenever a rich person gets hurt or sick they kill the clone and remove their organ that is needed. Mankind will have to hit rock bottom before I can even think of condoning that.

Re: are you for or against cloning?

hello ao! im back! i have learned that in the future scientist may be able to clone and create just organs. they have cloned tadpoles that can live without heads. this means that they may be able to clone just certain organs needed. this would take less time to create than an entire human so the process would be overall better for man kind! this opens possibilities like not having to unethically killing a cloned human ( with rights equal to ours) to give transplants to the ones they were cloned from. this can answer questions i have seen throughout the thread. like: My biggest concern would be if clones would have the same rights as us(scionofDestiny) or things like: if the clones are used to kill for their parts(a quick and simple sum of replies like this)

Re: are you for or against cloning?

Here's another thing to consider: if cloning was used for medical purposes such as instead of kidney tranplant a kidney cloning; how much will it cost? Will doctors charge more because it might be more effective and be guaranteed to be accepted by your body? Or less expensive because it is dangerous and mostly unsucessful? In this sense, cloning may be nothing more than another medical option for someone who needs to replace a vital organ.

Re: are you for or against cloning?

Like we are actually going to use the clones for medical purposes. We will probably end up using them to fight our wars. Clones shouldn't be made just to die for our problems.
