View Profile I see no business in cloning. If there was a real purpose to it that could help America or the world, I'd say do it. But since it costs a crap ton of money and really has no purpose (besides maybe learning more about our DNA or bodies) no point in the government shoving out millions of dollars to do it.
If you can clone to get organs (cloning less-than-whole humans for specific body parts) then there are purposes you can put it to.

View Profile using a dictionary definition doesn't address the issue.
lol thats calling pot calling the kettle black now isn't it?
Could be done by that wonderful capitalist system. Drug companies might really want that research. Plus I think the question is more about whether we should be allowed than whether we should actually go through with it.
this. banning clones might work for a little while, but with all the money to be made it's not going to last long.

Hmm good point, never even thought of that. I'm going to look into this further.

No, because this is a case where the dictionary definitions are different but the two things are the same in a biological sense, thereby making his correction incorrect. Just because using a dictionary definition doesn't address the issue here doesn't mean it never addresses an issue.
And besides, when/where have I ever done this?
