internal organs from your clone?Would that be against your spirituality to have the ability to have yourself cloned for the purpose of having "spare parts"?Science is almost there.If it isn't already.But is moral?I have mixed views on this.How about you?

To be truthfully, It would be like Slavery.Now cloning a pacific organ which would take less time,I see no ethical cornflake.With stem cells you could do that.The umbilical Cord and the placenta both contain stem cells.But Bush wont let us us them.

I have no qualms in genetically engineered body parts. However, that being said... No clone should have to die or suffer because of their "parent's" needs. I mean, if it can be grown in a pitri dish (or a pitri cake-pan, for intestines and skin, for that matter...), I'm all for it, as long as no one's life is lost... not an unborn baby's, nor a clone's.
No one should have to die for the sake of preserving another's life.
I mean, at this point in time, science has come far enough to take adult- and umbilical-derived stem cells, 'program' them to be whatever part they need, and layer them in such a way, that they will grow together to make an organ. This way does not kill an unborn baby, nor does it make a clone suffer needlessly.
Personally... I don't want a clone. One of me is quite enough for this world. My sons... well... they're God-given clones of each other... identical twins. It would pain me greatly to see one of my boys lose their life to save the other, especially when science can build replacement parts to save the one.
Honestly, I can see no good purpose for cloning, when everything that it is associated with (medical purposes, wars, genetic experiments) can be done to a greater extent via other means.

I do not like the thought of cloning. It is like making a person without a soul. It is terrible to think people have became so self absorbed that they would sacrifice another human to benefit themselves. It shows where this world is at though. No regard for life, thinking only of themselves, they are their own GOD.

To create something just to destroy it, doesn't sound fair. It's almost like creating a clone, and replacing the actual person, there is no point to either.
Perfection has a flaw, it cannot learn from it's own mistakes. Believe me, we all make mistakes, even God.

I do not think harvesting organs from a clone is moral. I do not have any religious hangups on the issue.

if science could help grow just parts like kidneys etc but should never be allowed to clone humans.after all man can not play god though i think sometimes they think they are.

i'd be totally for it, though i'd prefer reliable mechanical (or bioengineered) parts that were stronger,onger lasting, and, perhaps, more versatile. do you eat meat, perchance?
