Cloning...

Post by Wolverine »

Everybody seems to be in an uproar about the possibility of cloning a human. I think that it could be a good thing. But I understand why some see it as wrong. Or that it could be used improperly.

Personally I think that in 30 or 40 years it'll be commonplace. There'll be on at every mall.

Can you see it? My Great grandson goes in with a hair.

"I just came from Hooters can you clone this for me? Oh, and could you tweek her genome and make her bi-sexual? And twins?"

Now if the family luck is passed on, he'll go back at the end of the day to pick his 2 big, burrly, half-toothed... fry cooks.

Think I agree with all you`ve said, here, it COULD be potentially helpful, there are RISKS of it being misused, and yes, I`m SURE that it will be commonplace within30 years

Cloning brain dead humans would greatly serve the medical community by providing a source of spare parts, skin for grafting, etc.
"Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group that believes you can do these things. Among them are a few Texas millionaires, or businessman from other areas. Their number is negligible and they are stupid."

I believe medical research is in the preliminary stages of just cloning a person's organs so there is a definite match for organ transplant. This differs from stem cell research because they take the cells from the individual and not an embryo or infant cord.
