Is cloning good?
So cloning has been possible for a while now, but now that I think about it, it has positive and negatives. For controlled testing in labs it would work excellent being that you can have hundreds of the same mice to do experiments on. It can even work great for livestock in the future. The only downside I can really see us bringing back extinct animals. Sure you can bring it back but it's more of a replica. Without their being an original animal it would never learn how to be its particular species. For example some scientists are wanting to bring back passenger pigeons, but without any original passenger pigeons it wouldn't act like its species did in the past. What are your thoughts on cloning? Is it good, bad, or you don't really give a shit?

It's asexual reproduction. Clones show up in nature all the time.

Yes. I want my own battalion of the 501st pretty damn quickly.

Is this another God thread... Souls yadada.... Cloning is good so we can farm parts for ourselves.

It's not ALL bad.

10 RespuestasClones have a shorter life span, the part of the cell that holds the DNA to the nucleus gets shorter with ever replication. The cloned sheep had something like 1/3 the life span of the original, not to mention the huge number of failed clones that die of birth defects. Plants clone fine though. If you have a garden all of the plants are most likely clones, unless you grew them from seed. Stem cells are another matter though, vary cool stuff. when they figure out how to turn them off so people don't get cancer it will change medicine for ever.

3 RespuestasI'm pretty sure we'll develop the technology to fully clone humans and animals, but we won't use it. More likely, we'll stick to cloning organs and possibly lab rats/animals to study.

16 RespuestasBeing an anti-natalist, I'd have to say no.

9 RespuestasNo it can't... A clone can't live any longer than the original could.

You wouldn't have to wait months or even years to get your kidneys replaced because they failed. Cloning entire humans is too controversial. We as a species can't handle it. That's my opinion anyway. I'm up for cloning extinct animals but they wouldn't be the same. You're right.
