What are your views on cloning???

Question

It would be appreciated if you could give me your views of cloning. Do you think of it as a pro or a con. And why?

Answer 1

Pro..but that's only..it i get one of the new Pamela Anderson's

Answer 2

The Food and Drug Administration recently approved the use of cloned animals or their offspring as food.  I disaprove of this decision for two reasons.  First, one of the reasons given for approval was that "I can't imagine any negative effects from using cloned animals for food."  I think this says more about the FDA's lack of imagination rather than the possibility of any negative of cloning.  Second, I can think of a negative.  The reason for using cloned animals in food production is to provide producers with animals that have desireable traits such as a cow that provides alot of milk.  Years ago, the Irish began eating alot of one particular type of potato that produced alot of food.  Then, when a blight struck that destroyed that type of potato in particular, there was no alternative food to turn to and people starved to death.  Using cloned food could result in a similar event.  Genetic variety exists in nature for a reason.  Having just one genetic blueprint for our food stock is putting all our eggs in one basket.  A disease that would kill one of those animals would kill ALL of them.

Answer 3

cloning is the ****. B-)

Answer 4

I would love to clone myself x 2, so that I could send myself in to my job to work for me (maybe a couple more jobs, too)  and send myself to do all that family stuff I don't like to do, like reunions, weddings, funerals etc.  It would be great, and I always have preferred my own company!

Answer 5

i could write my 6 page essay on this that i did when i was in high school. but im going to condence it into only a few thoughts

when you clone a human it is a human. but since you made it is it yoursm to keep as property or does that human get the same rights it deserves as a living and breathing human.

im not purely against cloning it has its usess. corruption is contagious and cloning is easily corupted.

Answer 6

I'm all against it.  idk, it just seem that its going do more harm than good. Especially when its in the wrong hands, as most new ideas go.

Answer 7

.What gives the right for people to play God,  they all should try to find a cure for cancer or the common cold wouldn't that be more beneficial

Answer 8

Cloning an entire being is wrong.  Should I be clonned, I would honestly kill my clone.  It is wrong and immoral.  If it was meant for us to have a clone, we would have an identical twin.  Cloning an organ is fine, however.  A liver, eye, heart, etc, what-ever is fine.  As long as it conforms to the statement below.

I am good with Stem Cell Research; providing it is in a safe manner, that will not harm a fetus or any type of conceived being.  I read an article in Science News that showed how females that are virgins beget stem cells.  

Is those can be harvested, then be my guest and take them.  But if a living fetus or zygote must be destroyed, ABSOLUTELY NOT.
