no, because theres no telling to what can happen to a clone.

Who cares, it's a clone.

its still life though isnt it?

Cloning, while it can be a very useful thing in some aspects, its negative effects outweigh the positive.

I agree entirely with Clutch Hunterr and just want to add that we already are at a loss to provide food for a lot of people, the world's population is expanding at an exponential rate that we don't need to contribute to, and there is always *ALWAYS* room for fault.

There's going to be some error in the clone, rendering it useless, such as a low-life expectancy, some condition that causes it to come out with not all organs, or some other thing.

TV shows and movies make it seem like such a great thing to have and use at your will (do your homework, clean, build,etc) but it's going to be just like having another child, that is exactly like you, but could rise up against your will to harm you. You will never have full control over your clone.

ok...
Population: Cloning is not something being mass produced its done through fertilization and whatever, So this clone is not adding to anything its just taking place INSTEAD of a regular random brith. Like i said clone is just like identical twins except with age difference.

there will not be any error in the code this way. Well, no more than regular birth anyway DNA mutations happen in regular conditions just as much as these conditions

It's an artificial life, not a real life.

I say make a copy of me, put him in a freezer for ever, and cut him open in the event that I need some spare parts. Then again, who are we to play God?

It's still capable of feeling pain, empathy and sympathy, joy, depression just like the rest of us. It would be a human being just like you and me however we would have just played about with the DNA it was born with.



Well your first idea is completely unethical, and your second point is equally ridiculous. I suppose you believe we also shouldn't cut our hair, wear clothes, sit at desks on chairs or use computers either because that's not how your God intended it? And that's making the leap of an assumption there even is a God. Blimey...
