I think this is a serious issue nowadays... I think that cloning is a bunch of major bull. Maybe organs would be ok, but defenitly not people...
I mean, when you think about it, the person being cloned has no control of the clone, which rules out the "I wanna live forever" idea.

[glow=red,2,300]I also agree. Cloning is a serious matter. Yet in shows they always show that person giving orders to the clone like Master of Dreames mentioned. I mean it would be fun to have 4 of me doing my job but what makes you think they'll listen to you? 4 of me=chaos and a big argument..lol [/glow]

First of all, human cloning with current technology has been deemed impossible.
On the issue at hand, I support the cloning of organs because it is essential for liver disorders, diabetes, and other diseases.

Definately no human cloning. Organ cloning is okay, because like Zynx said, certain diseases could be cured. But if humans were cloned, the world would be in chaos, and nobody would know who was who and since you can't control your clones...

I suppose organ cloning is alright, for the above reasons, but cloning humans shouldn't be allowed.....Everytime youd turn the corner, youd see a Pamela Anderson or a Britney Spears.

I am frightened of genetic engineering in general. While it can correct terrible mental problems like Autism, correcting milder ones like anxiety and OCD may well actually hurt overall human creativity to an enormous extent. Eventually it would make us all mediocre.

Eventually it would make us all mediocre. I agree. Also, cloning will surely be an expensive process, and if people are using it to treat minor disorders and physical appearances, then the wealthy will have the advantage of reaching idealism--it would create some form of "genetic aristocracy," and I wouldn't want to see people becoming judged by their genetic idealism. Money should never buy evolution. I think it's horrible how people pay money to get makeovers. To me, cloning is the same thing multiplied one hundred fold. I also believe that suffering is a part of human existence. Without suffering, I think the virtues of courage and appreciation of life would diminish severely--I even believe that now, without cloning of people and organs, that people underappreciate life and our innate desire to survive. Humans are also creatures of love--that is one of the major qualities that separates us from animals (so I believe, along side rational judgement and logic). Without suffering in the world, what would happen to our most precious human asset? So I believe that no cloning of anything should occur. I just have bad feelings about it all.
