There are several issues that should be discussed during the debate on human cloning. The principles and the meaning of human life should first be discussed as well as questioned. Will the product of human cloning be a person or a just piece of property? The technology/expenses that would make it possible to create humans by cloning . Discussion of human cloning should also involve the discussion of ethics such as moral obligations , rights, etc. well if i left anything out please tell me.

The earth already has too many people, so no to cloning.

well sense its not possible for to of the same person to inhabit the same place at the same time, they wouldn't be people would they? so would the be livestock for organs, slaves for companys,be made into armies. you made the most basic answer. no offense.

Meh, no taken, just had the urge to type that, seeing as how humans are ready producing enough pollution, unless the clones, if possible, were made to work as farmers or for the land to make it better, or even find a way of get rid of pollution....hmm....I changed my answer.

Are you saying a clone is less then human? By your reasoning, we would be mass producing slaves.

in a sense it is and is not human, lets say we clone you the clone is like you in every way, but you have to get a new heart would it be consider murder or suicide to take your heart to give it to yourself, or would it be just taking what you need from a plant knowing you can make more? the only way they could be human is if the orginal dies. im sorry if this makes little sense its 4 am here

Oh wow... So if a person has the same genetic makeup as you, they aren't human. I guess identical twins would be very useful in organ harvesting.

Well that also depends, if the brain is developed, knows whats happening and feels depressed that it can't do anything to stop it's sudden situtaion, then it's murder, but if they had the body and a undeveloped brain then that would be alright. I know that's not what you were thinking about.

so if you had a clone and it being you would you consider it to be yourself, or a look a like?

I would consider it a clone...

by definition another person who has the same genetic makeup as me. A twin.

You do realise that just because there are two genetically identical beings they can develop differently as environmental factors also play a role in shaping them.

I'd make mine a chick, and have her brain develop differently so I could fuck her without feeling bad.
