Hurah!
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Do you think human cloning should be allowed?
I don't, due to your remake a copy of a human that is already living or have lived at one point, they would be in constant pain wouldn't they. "Mentally"
That's my reasoning.

Its just my personal opinion! Thats all some people find it immoral while others find nothing wrong with it. Its why things never happen in government lol! Nobody agrees with each other and do not try to find a compromise. :p

I say nay.

It seems like a lot of people think cloning takes place instantaneously and produces a perfect replica of the cloned person, memories and all.

In reality, cloning is just growing a human being with the DNA of another human. And it would grow up at the same rate as we would, because it would be human.

So cloning is expensive, not all that practical (could be used for organ transplants, but that would be unethical, to create life for the sole purpose of dying to help someone else is just plain cruel), and even though the beings that are created will be human, science won't view them that way, the creations will be condemned to become science experiments, as science attempts to make new discoveries about the human body.

Uhm, I'm not sure about that. A brain transplant, or even copying the brain seems highly improbable, close to impossible. But I obviously can't see into the future, so who knows?

Lol...dude read what he was talking about before responding. Cloning as we are doing it simply copies an organism's DNA, Dolly was made from DNA from cells of another sheep, they didn't just put a sheep in a machine and poof she popped out. Growing another organism with the exact same genetics doesn't neccesarily mean that the organism will be the exact same, we are a combination of environment and genetics, we can't duplicate the environment part of it yet, so its almost pointless.

In other words, if we made a clone of you, it wouldn't be exactly like you. It would be another baby with the same genetic code as you, which would mean physically you would look similar and perhaps behave and react similarly to a lot of things, however unless your clone lives a life that was exactly the same as yours, he would not be the same as you.

If the clone has the same DNA as you, it would be a perfect match for any and all organ transplants. But on the other hand, you'd need to start the clone before or early on in a terminal illness, or else you wouldn't be able to transplant before you're dead.

But what happens when a slightly less-than-friendly country creates a clone army of a few billion clones and come marching in?

I'm trying to clear the notion that creating a clone will be an exact replica of yourself as you are. Most of a human's personality comes from past experiences which are stored within the brain, therefore unless we somehow replicated your brain, and somehow transplant it into the clone, it would not be a replica of yourself. And even if we did, it would only be so for a split second before other experiences change it to be different from you.
