If we could do Human Cloning, should it be allowed?

Would you support it or not? Do it or not? Would you clone dead relatives if you could or a super model to have sex with or whatever?

I'd clone you and keep the clone in a brainwashing facility until it was willing to divulge all your secrets and predict your every action.

I have no secrets, I generally say what I think.

As for predicting my every action, that is easy.

I wouldn't do it for exactly the reasons you've offered as an example. I suppose many people would want to give in to that temptation, so to speak... and sure, my reptilian brain says "Drew Barrymore cloned wife!!! w00t!"... but creating a race of indentured servants is the final indictment against humanity.

Not sure what the purpose would be. I guess they'd make good cannon fodder (Warhammer 40k), but people in general are way more ethical than I am, so it'd never work.

I wouldn't clone any dead relatives. No point. If you've ever watched someone die, you know that the body is just a shell, and anything that makes up a 'person', whether something supernatural or not, leaves or dies with them. A clone is a poor substitute - without the exact same experiences and upbringing, they'd never be the same.

other than for body part donations, the only thing I can really see as being acceptable would be for testing on humans...but stuff like that would have to be agreed upon by the clonee and I can't think of a way to make it humane enough for it to be acceptable...

I tend to agree with this.


Unless they come up with future tech that plants your memories and consciousness into a cloned body. I would be for that and sign up immediately (getting old is overrated).

We allow the stupidest people alive to breed as many times as they want with the fullest of rights.

I don't really see the problem with cloning.

Even if you could create an exact replica of a dead loved one(memories and all), it would not be that person. It would just be depressing to have their clone around when you know the original is still dead.

Because of this, I do not envision scientists specifically working towards this type of cloning (although it may be discovered eventually anyways, and North Korea etc. would quickly clone their best scientists).

But if body parts can be cloned to keep people alive, I approve.

I would absolutely be for it, it would mean a tremendous amount of progress for science.

You could buy a younger model of your significant other without cheating on them.
