Human Reproductive Cloning

Post Reply New Topic

Human Reproductive Cloning.....some support it, others condemn it. My personal views on it are that once it is developed, it should be legalized for those who have lost loved ones. As for cloning oneself for the hell of it, I am divided on that.

What is everyone else's opinion on it though here? Should it be allowed? Is it ethical?

What are the possible negative/positive consequences of it being legalized/banned?

But just because an entity is genetically exactly same, it doesn't mean that the personality or individuality of the original entity which developed over time through life experience would be the same in a clone.

I am for stem cell research and medical procedures that use stem cells for therapy, but I am against human cloning to reproduce an entire individual.

I think the problem is that people would create clones in order to provide spare parts for themselves. Probably many vampires would create clones of themselves in order to live ethernally.

I just think it's cool that we've completely mapped out the Neanderthal genome. B-)
