Cloning: Unethical or Justified?
What do you guys think about Cloning? On one hand, they can be used for transplants, livestock, and life saving human research, but on the other hand it morally wrong, expensive to innovate, new laws and restrictions will be to made, and clones will likely be killed off shortly after birth.
-
Cloning livestock, sure, but that brings the risk of one specific disease wiping out that entire population. Cloning humans is a complete no, being a "clone" doesn't make you less than human. Cloning human organs and things of that sort are perfectly fine though.

1 ReplyIf anyone's read, "House of the Scorpion," you'll see the kinds of things cloning can be used for. I think how ethical it is depends a lot on what it's used for. If you're cloning a human being, they're still human beings, and should be treated as such. Cloning an organ or a body part however, is much different.
-
Cloning organs and livestock is acceptable. No cloning full humans though.

1 ReplyEdited by Sick Perv: 3/21/2013 2:06:05 AMWhat if we cloned all the hot chicks in the world, and made them sex slaves? Would that be unethical?
-
They said I was cloned...
-
It depends more on the usage. If they are cloned to fight wars or to be enslaved, it is unethical.
-
If the cloning ended up like "The Island" then unethical. If cloning ended up like in Halo where you could kidnap kids and have the clones die years after then unethical. If cloning is used to fight wars unethical If clones are treated exactly the same as everybody else then I think it's fine.
-
Cloning animals to save a specie or cloning organs to help people I'm fine with but imagine, cloning a human it will be born without parents and the shock of finding out he/she was created from a lab will be worse.
-
It's fine. Clones are the same as normal people, just produced in a different way. No reason to deny them rights to live because of that.
-
Unethical on humans and related species unless they are given rights like a normal person. Don't mind it on simpler lifeforms if done responsibly.
-
1 ReplyDepends. Are we talking about an actual, fully-cloned living being, or just a cloned organ or something? Killing a clone at birth is exactly the same as killing a regularly-spawned baby at birth. It's a form of asexual reproduction, not some kind of mystical scientific procedure that creates soulless copies.
-
Organ cloning is fine. Full people brings up alot of moral issues and such. Don't even bring religion into it like them not having souls or something. Stick to organs. Let's not devalue human life.
-
[quote]transplants[/quote] The lottery....haven't you ever seen the movie "The Island"? Anyway, if you fully clone another human being, then life isn't that precious.

1 Replythread got dumb really fast already bored

6 RepliesUse them for research too dangerous for real humans and/or complete organ and blood harvesting, and i'm fine with that. Nothing else, though.
-
Cloning human organs makes sense. Cloning humans, no.
-
Cloning? Fine. Replicating humans for harvest?(I get the sense from the OP that is what you are talking about) Completely unethical. Clones are just humans with same DNA as someone else. They are essentially the same as a set of identical twins. You don't deny twins rights just because there are two of them, would you?

6 RepliesHow is cloning "morally" wrong?

15 RepliesEdited by Gaara444: 3/21/2013 2:05:44 AMAs long as the clones aren't treated the same as us then who cares. Clones of us aren't the same, their souls placement is different. Clones are inferior, They're just a biological machine. An artificial life created by the Lilim for our own needs and uses. As long as they're not treated as an actual human, there's no problems with cloning.
-
I don't see how the science as a whole is morally wrong.
-
Just create bodies without a brain. Not human. Problem solved.
-
As long as we aren't cloning whole humans, I think it will be fine. Cloning people completely can lead to legal and philosophical issues.
-
5 RepliesBy transplants you mean cloning humans solely for the purpose of disposal? idk you tell me.
-
Neither, inherently.
