ZOMBIE FORUMS

. . .

Yo, Ryv, anyone else who wasn't actually reading my post . . .

I gave this that goofy name to get your attention. The poll option was funny.

Please, I wanted a serious discussion on cloning, or your reactions to what the two men in the debate I linked to in my post.

Not a Star Wars discussion.

-_- The attention span of the modern webhead . . .

I think that cloning is unethical because the odds of it actually working right(person survives to term w/o massive biological and mental problems) are so poor. I think that human cloning will inevitably happen soon, for the purpose of organ donation and such. I doubt that a full scale human clone duplicating another person (a'la The Sixth Day) is in the cards for another half century or so.

Chaz, do you know how many "normal," pregnancies end in miscarriage? Do you oppose artificial insemination?

I personally feel that there is no logical objection to cloning, though you seem to be one of the closest to doing so I've seen, Chaz. Though it's been said before, a clone is just an identical twin born years apart (or months, if you get the bugger early). Even less than that, actually, due to the different womb and events in it. Trying to raise a replacement of a loved one would fail utterly, as the whole nurture thing plays far too much of a role.

As long as they get the same rights as any other person, I dont have a problem with cloning. The first generation of clones are going to be seriously messed in the head though just due to media coverage of the whole thing.
