Agree with Human Cloning?

It's probably to do with past experiences... Or something but this is how i've always felt since I knew about Death, I don't think life is 'Sacred' but I believe it is a possesion that is somebody's and nobody has the right to take it, espescially not a 'deity' or some sort of 'better life-form', all life is equal in my view and nobody is better than somebody, people deserve to spend life how they want it because you can't be the same person twice and there seems to be no afterlife, perhaps immortality is the only use of cloning that I can happily see...

 

Clones should be treated with respect and not like a dirty animal or a sex toy, all i am saying is that clones should be our second selves they must carry our skills and traits but not the attitude, clones should be teached not used athough it may really take awhile because of some factors regarding aging and health hazards...

 

I would like a back-up of myself so that I wouldn't 'die', well actually would one really die and it would be like a different life with all my memories?... That makes me sad and confused...

 

Someone said that people would react to clones as "playing God," which reminds me of a joke that can sum up my feelings about that.

One day there was a man fishing on his boat alone when all of the sudden the man fell into the water. This man, unfortunately, couldn't swim at all and hadn't anticipated falling off the boat, so he didn't have a life jacket or anything else to save him. This man, it also happens, was a devout Christian. Well, after about a minute of flailing, a boat comes along and the man screams "Sir! Sir! Need some help?!?" to which the drowning man replies "No, God will save me!" Then, after about another thirty seconds, a Crocodile comes along and says "Well, I don't usually do this... but... do you need some help?" to which the man, after regaining his wits from seeing a talking Croc, said "No, God will save me!" Well, in short, the man drowned. Later he got to Heaven and was fuming! He marched right up to St. Peter and demanded to know why God didn’t' save him. After a few minutes of looking at his clipboard, St. Peter looked up at the man and said "Well, he sent a boat and a Crocodile to help you, what more did you want?"

What I'm trying to say is that God sent us doctors for a reason.... Not to "play God" but to help. The same thing with cloning. If he allowed us to access this power, it's because he sent it to help us, not to let us "play God".

 

well what really sucks is that i heard this story of some girl who wanted her father back so she got his DNA somehow (or something like that) and then i think if you are able to clone the person with that DNA, they will turn out way different from the person you wanted...

 

I think i did mention they would have a differ rights.

as for sick sexual fetishes (aka extrame gore bondage, hostel level), they would need outlaw them, after all murder is murder, clone or not. But then i can imagine some company would design and create for dummy clone for abuse purpose in black market and they can make such clone by limiting thier senses, they would have no desire to be free, no wants, no need, no self awearness, no survival instinct, no memory, they only have emotion that they are allow to have (in order to deliver the sick pleasure to thier abuser) and those clone would have an extremly short lifespan.

 

I really need a few clones so that I can get three or four jobs and still go to school ^.^

 

That's labour, I think the clones would turn on you if you has them and made them do that... >.>

 

you're confusing clones with intelligent robots cj, and people wouldn't want clones if they can't behave like they wanted

 

I'm not confusing them, all free-willed beings can turn on others...

 

I am against human cloning, in that I am against any whole organism cloning, I cannot see any benefit beyond floristry or to preserve a critically endangered species. To clone an organism is to say that organism is complete and any evolution is not something desirable.
Human cloning supports the notion held by certain religions and some eugenicists that the human self is complete and at an end, that humans no longer(or never) evolve. I reject that notion, I am sure that human evolution is very much alive and well, but slow due to our ability to find comfort in our habitats and destroy them to our advantage. If tested by extreme environment it is clear that humans can, and do, genetically adapt.

I do support the cloning of body tissue, I am all for cloning some skin to help a person with a burn or a severe cut; or cloning some liver tissue for someone who drinks too much, or indeed growing a personal heart or lung. I think cloning is a wonderful way to progress medicine and until nanotech becomes viable it will be a great stop gap to disease and damage control.

To make a copy of the DNA of an individual in order to create a second such individual or to seemingly revive a dead individual flies in the face of the concept of individuality and humanity. With a cloned majority words such as 'you' or 'I' have no meaning.

 

I do not agree with human cloning, unless it is used as a medical purpose... not just to make your own life better

 

true
but human cloning still not making any sense even for medical purpose

they want to use cloned human replacing white mice to test new medicine or something like that?
cloned human will still have emotion...i think

 

What's the use of human cloning? We already overpopulate why do we need to add more?
Also, there would always something lacking in a clone and a clone would die quickly.

Example: there was a cloned sheep named "Dolly" some time in 1996. the sheep died at 6 years old but normal sheep usually die at 12. Don't make anymore humans. We already have more then enough.

Just stick to cloned human parts

 

Yes-use them as "spare parts" ...


One could get a compatible owner thier own organs being cloned-that can help many people!


If the clones went into the wrong hands...whole gangs of a single person can create so much trouble...all single minded...

Why-a gang leader could use a clone to hide from the police!




Imagine if I had a clone-I know many would agree that THAT is a bad idea!


(Having split personalities-one might take the chainsaw and hocky mask...but out of all of them-one would still be here XD)


Ok...anyway-spare parts only-if anything we need LESS people-we are over crowding as is!

 

May want to do your research... "Dolly was euthanised because of a progressive lung disease." Nothing to do with her being a clone...

 

I thought the clone just had a shorter life span?

Everyone I know who knows of dolly thought the same...


Cover up or mis-informed?

 

People jumping to conclusions I rekon... mixing fiction with reality.

I'm all for cloning... anything that benifits me is fine.

 

i also thought that dolly died because she is a cloned being

but actually she died because of progressive lung disease

 

Guys correct me if i am wrong.
Cloning in term of fantasy world in anime and games refers to make a duplicate of one living being, especially humans. In the presentation this could happen suddenly or say with a machine.

As I know the term of cloning in our science now take a male sperm and female ovum and plant it in one woman's womb. Then the process is just the same when a woman having birth. If I am correct could that be considered as creating a normal person?

Cloning is to make someone that is better than a normal person. That is using the best male sperm and female ovum with the characteristic that you wanted to be in the child.

So therefore as 1prinnydood said

Is it valid? As I said cloning is not to revive the undead. You could see in Koudelka and Shadow Hearts, they're using an ancient text to revive the undead or even in Yu-Gi-Oh! R, there, they're using machines to revive the undead. Even the fantasy worlds don't refer cloning as something to revive the undead.

Cloning is used to make something or someone having characteristic that you wanted.
The result of cloning is one different individual. I believe using someone DNA to clone him/herself will result a different individual. Even the clone him/herself could say 'I am I and you are you'.
I, as a human, admit myself is not perfect, then why should I clone myself in the first place?
