too much opportunity for abuse. I don't like it, even though anything that could help with curing cancer, or any other distructive disease deserves a chance.  |

I am...well...put it this way. It is immoral and unfiar to these 'clones' we would have to make up clone rights they would be scrutinized and made fun of, they wouldn't/couldn't have souls, it sure would be cool, but it sure wouldn't be right-VitalDeath  |

I have yet to see an argument to show the immorality of cloning. People say we shouldn't play God but this is flawed in my opinion by two factors. One, to worry about playing God, you must first believe in God in the first place, which is no reason to try and stop the rest of the world to ignor the potential. And two, how do you define playin God in the first place. By all accounts many of our medical advancments could fall under this catagory. I also always hear about how they could not posses a soul... I have no idea what this is all about. Technicaly a cloe is just like a twin. A person by all acounts with an identical genetic make-up to somone else. Does that mean in twins only one has a soul? Of course not. With the special clone rights... HUH? It is a person. Plain and simple, it is a person made up of the genetic material of another human, just like the rest of us are. Do children born of artificial insimination require their own rights? Of course not, they are people, simply not conceived in a conventional fassion. Does it have potential for abuse, of course it does. Many things do, that is why we regulate.  |

it's really hard for me to imagine cloning anything... i feel like people and all other living things all have souls.. so how can you clone a soul?? just odd...  |

Because a clone is a living being too. Cloning is nothing magical that creates a full grown person that has the mind of the original, it is simply a person with the same genetic make-up as somone else of a different age that was not conceived in a traditional manner. |

I am cautious about human cloning because I am unsure of the ethics involved. Why do we want human clones if we are concerned about overpopulation? By creating them for "spare parts", are we de-valuing human life? What rights would created clones have? Whose family would they belong to? Who will educate them? Once the pace of technology outruns our ability to govern it or to anticipate its consequences, Pandora's Box cannot be closed.  |

We don't have to clone a human for spare parts. Once we can extract DNA and break it down to its basic components we can grow just the parts we need but first we have to understand exactly how cloning works by cloning animals. And as far as over population and all, why do we allow artificial insemination? Someone infertile may want a clone of theirselves or a loved one as a child to raise of their own. It would be very useful to be able to clone endangered animals, animals that have gone extinct, human parts, healthy animals for eating, etc. there are many good reasons. ANY scientific research can be abused but we can't deny the benefits of that research.  |

It's a hard issue. I won't really get into it because there are so many circumstances and whatnot that I couldn't possibly address here. But I WILL say that it boggles m'noggin as to the usefullness of cloning an individual. What's the point? And another thing is that I have absolutely NO problem with using cloning technology to grow new organs or body components for those that require them. Think about it next time you see a person with a spinal cord injury. Take care and it's definitely an interesting subject...Gallytuck.  |

Hmm..I don't know. At this point I'm rather indifferent, but I think it would be very creepy to think that if something happened to me or I died..they could just clone a "new" me. *shudders*  |

Avalonelle, "new you" isn't quite how it works. It wouuld be a different person. A baby like any other, just who's genes looked just like yours. |

Moral isn't a word that should be applied to cloning. It's a good idea, plain and simple. |

I'm against it. God created a perfect way to reproduce, and why do men insist on changing nature? It's immoral, imho, however, we are on a brave new frontier, and the cesspool is where we're headed, but, unfortunately, some can't wait to get there.  |
