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

But what do you do?

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:

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

Woohoo congrats mate. :-j :up:

Konovalov 05-23-06 03:54 PM

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. ;)

Well you can join the Kap & STEED school for posting. :D

Back on topic.

I am against human cloning because it’s a waste of money and time. The money would be better spent in more productive areas of reaserch.

What the heck do we need clones for anyway?

Well what if you and your partner were both infertile or incapable and wanted to have a child? Cloning using the DNA of both could help in this matter. Now this isn’t “Cloning” in the strictest sense but as I understand it the technique is basically the same. Obviously we need to learn how to do this with the DNA of one person first before we learn how to do it with two or more.
