We already have too many people on this planet, why start making unnecessary copies?

Probably the most original comment against cloning I ever heared! :lol:

Knowing what we are like, once you take away the restraints we are asking for trouble.

Has anyone seen Space: Above and Beyond? Were going to need all the cheap soldiers when our AI servants rebel and release a sterility plague on Earth not to mention when Aliens invade our space colonies. :yep:

In the foxhole it don’t matter if a man’s a Tank or Natural Born. ;)

I can handle stem cell research, but not outright cloning. Way too many ethical issues. I like living in a world without alphas and betas, thanks.

We may have the knowledge to do it but not the wisdom to understand what power it is that we have discovered.

Very good point Iceman. :yep:

Exactly. Another one of those "tree of knowledge" things that we try to eat and wind up getting too far ahead of ourselves.

We should pull back from the edge of the cliff and think first before jumping over the edge.

I'm all for organ transplants. I could use a new set of lungs myself. ::hack::

But what do you do? Make a human body without a head? Otherwise, it would still be murder.


Yeah, not sure why anyone would want to. Kind of like climbing Mt. Everest. That's great that you did, but what was the purpose?

Just because we can? I don't know why it's even an issue. Besides for organs, which may not be possible because a clone would be a person too, why?

Maybe if you could grow a human heart in a pig or something, okay. I'll take a human/pig heart if you've got one. But why clone a person?

Just have sex, you silly people.

That's a major vote in favour of natural reproduction over cloning. :up:

Well here in the UK you can carry an organ donor card so when you snuff it your organs go to some one else.

Seconded.

No really what is the advantage of cloning?

Why?

What about if you were setting up a colony on Mars or someplace else farther away from Earth? A generation of clones would increase the workforce and allow the colony to maintain a balance to the gene pool preventing any one family line for dominating (bad for the future). :hmm:

Egad! It's Chairman Yang of the Hive! Seize him! Seize him! :P

:up: Thats right

Words that make perfect sense. I'm with you there. :yep:

Cool, my 2500th post. Time to celebrate with a swig from my silly World Cup Football mug. :smug:

Woohoo congrats mate. :-j :up:

Thanks. :D

It's been a long hard slog over the last three and a half years. Some people like Steed and Kapitan make it look like a walk in the park. ;)

I Agree. We are nothing better that a Sheep.

Seriously! :yep:
