Cloned Humans: Is Earth Ready? - Video Games Forum

I don't know why anyone would want to be cloned. In that news article it says the woman who gave the DNA did it because her husband was infertile and they wanted a baby, couldn't they take DNA from both of them and combine them or something to create a totally new person. Wouldn't it just be weird (and maybe wrong) to have a son/daughter that is totally identical to you?

And then there's all these issuses, such as if a child dies and the parents clone him/her to bring them back, do they love the clone for who he/she is or for who he/she was clone from. Even though they would look a like surely they would develop their own personality and if that thought crossed their mind it would drive them crazy, like the only reason the clone is alive is to "relpace" the dead child. I totally disagree with cloning. I think it is totally wrong to play god. And who knows the consequences of having an identical counterpart? very dangerous stuff. And BTW identical twins are more indentical than in looks... A sort of company idd these experiments with twins seperated at birth and found some weird results. Some had wives and children with the same names, some had indetical particular habits such as collecteing rubber bands on their hands...

Imagine the millitery implacations if it became possible to mass produce clones. Sure it would take a long time but you could create a whole army, god knows what would become of the world. Imagine an almost endless supply of soliders created to just kill or be killed, kind of a meaninless existance don't you think. And should those clones then think for themsleves and think about that, what if they would turn on their creators? Ok so this would be many years away but still. And then terrorist groups and their suicide bombers, just think what they could do with the ability to clone. Perhaps George W. Bush should be looking for cloning factories in Iraq not weapons.

Imagine being a clone and you only have one purpose in life, whatever the purpose. Just because your cloning someone doesn't mean your not creating a whole new person who will have their own feelings and thoughts. The cloning for organs etc. We can't do that yet, we have to create a whole person and then take the organs. Giving life to something and then taking it away, just like a damn lego person?! How depressing would it be to know nobody wants you, loves you, or even thinks of you as a person, and your going through all the pain just because of some scientists. Until we perfect cloning and can do it without hurting anyone, I'm completely against it.

What do you believe is the right choice?

Cloning is alright as long as it isn't taken over the limit. There has to be a line where people can't cross when it comes to cloning.

Personally I agree with the laws being opened up to allow it to be legally reserched as far as is morally correct. s long as scientists use it with precaution, that's the only way I'll accept it.

I totally agree with Kliq...there must be a line, which cannot in any circumstance be crossed.......

Good read...

I agree with most of your points, and the soldier thing reminds me of Universal Soldier(I think thats the name)

Cloning to make organs and stuff like that is alright. I wonder how it will all work, though we're not totally sure.

The company CloneAid has said to cloned 4 children ... 2 little boys and 2 other dead children.

Now I must ask .. how do you clone a dead child and go to sleep at night? That's just wrong. It's interference in mother nature.

cloning is completely wrong i disagree with it all the way. like u said its wrong. to give life and then take it away as it meant nothin? what did the clomoing do for u in the first place then?

its completly wrong and shoulddnt be messed with.

it.....doesnt seem right. yes, to get organs its ok, but....talking to a cloned man would scare me a lot. and imagine talking to your cloned self. How would that work out? You both are exactly the same,
