Should Cloning Be Ban Or Not?

[jonathan_tijuana]

What do you think about cloning (animals or humans) ?

I need some opinions for a essay that im doing.

we don't need to clone for food and we don't need human clones although cloning "cells" to help cure desease may not be a bad thing.
the only other thing i feel could be useful is cloning speces that are about to become extinct as a very last resort.

Cloning Parts of the Body I see no harm in.I mean if I am a soldier returning from Iraq and my leg is missing you can surely bet I would not mind.

I thin human cloning is a great idea.of course with stem cell research advancing more and more;like FC said,if sum1 needed a body part or sumting possibly with the knowledge they gathered cloning they could mayb grow that person a new part for w/e his/her needs.but with cloning equals more ppl in this world and plus we already have enuogh orphans.tho i still think human cloning should b done.sure we'll have accident and failres but thats how it works in the field of science.and fuck bush cuz he'll never allow it.

I've always thought of human cloning as a bad thing. What if there were able to clone back in the days? Clone more Hitler's or Bin Laden's! It'd be chaos!

you know... if you created a million clones of George W Bush, and put them in a room with a million typewriters for a million years, they would eventually write the world's greatest novel.

How does cloning parts of the body work exactly? Do the limbs/organs have to be attached to some type of, say, human-arm creature to provide a host for the organs until they are ready to be harvested? (Like the ear-mouse).

Or do we have to grow the limbs/organs in a huge vat? Stores of spleens, vats of verterbrae, that sort of thing.

The first idea seems repugnant, the latter seems very far off considering our current technological state.

cloning for medical research as in stem cells i agree with

but total coneing of a human is just wrong , who are we to mess with evolution

Though it could be argued that a species that can self-adapt through these techniques to it's environment could be the next step in evolution. Instead of taking millions of years to adjust we could literally "evolve" over night.

In theory this sounds good (to me at least) though that tricky thing of human nature would more than likely get in the way...
