Are You For Or Against Cloning? - what would be your reason?

HoRuS
Cloning is invented for the better good for mankind. Just like many other inventions like nuclear power was invented for creating large mounts of energy to use for propulsion, household and so on but I'm seriously affraid that many governments will use it for their destructive purposes.
Cloning means a cheap army of expendible humans to blend to their needs if a war breaks out.
I hope that it will not come this far and that people only will use it to fight hunger and deseases, cuz they will use it no matter what we say

Peace

The one main thing I see wrong with species cloning, specifically human cloning, is what is the answer to a quality of life issue? When a person is cloned, are they a human being with all the rights and priviledges therein contained? or are they simply biological matter to be used as seen fit? I think that, at least where human cloning is concerned, there's a big ethics issue right at the heart of the whole thing from where you get the stem cells to clone to what you do with them once they are cloned. As to animals, yes, I think it might be a good thing, but, as some have already mentioned, it can also be a double edged sword in the wrong hands.

Cloning animals isn't good, because they have a concious(!) as well as human beings.
Cloning organs is ok, I think it will benefit people when there are donor organs, but without it coming from animals or dead humans.
When the subject has a concious(!) or somekind of emotion/awareness I think it's really unethical to just use it for own purposes.
As for cloning humans huh.gif omg, I really don't like the idea about the cloning-technology falling into the wrong hands, esspecially the ministery of Defence people's hands...

Peace

Are you for or against cloning?

I will start by telling you that I am for cloning. Why? It can save many human lives, bring back extinct species and maybe put an end to many of mankind's problems (see world hunger). Of course it can create many more, some of them could seem SF.
Well I see cloning like the nuclear bomb. At first it could and it will probably be an weapon (see hiroshima and nagasaki ... off-topic: two months ago, before the american elections someone intervied a lady in Ney York and they asked her why she will vote for Bush. She sad "because it is good to know he can drop the nuclear bomb again to protect america". Well that kind of thinking seems very, very, very stupid to my but i am not an american citizen so... ) but if that won't wipe us out from the surface of the earth cloning will be the future. Remember that we where near (30 min near) full nuclear war in the '60. But we lived and now the nuclear bomb is still a threat but it's the same technology that gives us energy and maybe one day take us to the stars.

So I ask you once again are you for or are you against cloning?
I have one more question for you...
It has been a documentary on Discovery Channel regarding the cloning of the tasmanian tiger (for the ones who haven't seen it you should see it). Did they do any more progress other then what thay showed on TV?

it depends. if the intentions are good then why not. but if it's somewhat evil, then it should be trashed. and definitely against human and dinosaur cloning. wink.gif

I'm against it because what is going to happen when that child growns up? The parents are going to have to tell the kid that he/she was cloned and that kid would be really freaked out. I wouldn't want my mom to come over to me right now and say "You have been cloned". That would be freaky....

I'm definitely against cloning...People are made to live for a certain time and then die...If we start cloning people we'll disrupt the natural balance of life...Yes there can be ups like cloning another einstein or Martin Luther King Jr....But image if cloning abilities fall into someone bad hands..We would get another Hitler like poletnik said..Or Napoleon, or Genghis Khan...We already have Bush Jr. in office do we need worse?

Cloning animals, i'm all for it. But cloning humans, totaly against it. Cloning some animals could ahve some advantages. Like for example, instead of killing thousands of cows for food, we could just clone the same ones over and over and over again, which would probaly put an end to such things like world hunger.

Cloning could also have some scientific data. For example, if we were to create a clone using dinosaur DNA, scientists would be able to study dinosaurs a lot better than they can now, and it would give the hollywood guys something new to play with.

Just my two cents smile.gif

In my opinion cloning humans for organs would be a good thing but I know that if people start cloning there will be a lot of rich who will want to have "perfect" children... and it screw up with everything, unless it's a "perfect" girl biggrin.gif... just kidding... but what a coinscidence... today I was reading a magazine and there was a report (not sure if I can use this word for it) about cloning and there are only two scientists who can clone did you know it? One has a time since he can clone but the other one has just gotten his permission, I guess 1 month or less!
