I'm not talking about human cloning, I'm talking agricultural applications here. Livestock and Crops what do you all think? Good? Bad? No Idea? Lets here some opinions.

I find cloning to be useful. It allows me to sit at home, scratch my butt and watch tv, while the other me's clean house, do the laundry, listen to the wife gripe, and earn a paycheck. So yes, I would say I am all for it. If only they wouldn't eat so darn much. And leave that stupid toilet seat down. All I need is to give another excuse to the misses to yell at me.

To increase the supply of good planting materials and their production, we've been cloning plants through asexual propagation for a very long time. This is nothing new, people have been doing it for so long nobody knows when it actually started. (This even includes organically grown strawberries). I haven't heard or read about complaints about this practice, so this must be a good thing.

from what ive learned on cloning is that it creates a much weaker copy than the original, meaning shorter lifespan, disease etc. in my opinion there is no way to make an exact replication of a full dna strand that can compare to the real thing, so its probably just another useless attempt by man to play god

I do believe cloning has it's good points, I don't agree with using it to create some kind of super human or the tailored child.

It could be the solution to feed a growing population with less and available for agriculture.

Bad idea. I eat organic whenever I can.
They recently discovered that organic strawberrys have 40% more anti-oxidants than regular strawberrys.
When you mess with nature, you are asking for trouble.
If we eat cloned food, we are just asking for more diseases and health problems.
