there is no god
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.
it’s an election with no Democrats, in one of the whitest states in the union, where rich candidates pay $35 for your votes. Or, as Republicans call it, their vision for the future.

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.

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.

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...
