that is just wrong, we should be happy with all of us being one of a kind, the world would be a boring place with clones.

Cloning would not produce an exact duplicate of someone. Just duplicate DNA. Like computers, you can have the same hardware, but our life experiences (our software) is what makes us individuals. How different would any of us be if we grew up somewhere/somewhen else? I am betting that if I were born 400 years ago I'd be tied to a stake right now getting turned into BBQ. Cloning a person will make a new person that looks exactly like the DNA donor. I can see cloning organs and whatnot, but I am not sure about cloning an entirely new person. Yeah, I like the idea of a Mozart clone, but he would not be Wolfgang, with Wolfgang's experiences and upbringing. The TALENT would be there but would he really use it to create new classical compositions with all the really cool instruments or become a grunge rocker or a high school band director or become a professional fisherman who writes jingles on the side? Maybe he'd hate music. And who would have the right to force him to compose just because that is why he was cloned? His maker? I thought salvery was outlawed.
I think cloning has the potential to be a great benefit to humanity but it is more likely to be abused by those who can afford it. Which rules most, if not all, of us out.

I like the prospect of cloning human parts like individual limbs and organs for those who lose them to accident and disease. While I am uneasy about cloning entire human beings, I must admit that I am curious to find out what, if any difference, they might have to those produced the old fashion way. I suspect there will be no difference whatsoever, but we'll see.
It is curious however that we think nothing of aborting fetuses on one end while we work on the other end to create lives through cloning on the other.

Goes against the laws of nature, it's a fascinating subject but should never ever become a practice.
Think of the kid who finds out he was adopted, now imagine what it would be like to find out you are a clone. You aren't even the real you, you are a copy of someone else, that would just be way too wierd.

To What Ends? The Whole Question Is An Affront To Christianity And Is The Kind Of Thing The Nazis And Their Ilk Would Be Interested In.

I think the reason for cloning is to have a brainless parts shop.
I for one am not against it as long as the clone is not actually alive...only the tissue itself and not the brain.

I think it's a good idea as long as they will only clone sexy people. The people they shouldn't clone are dumb people, welfare leeches, out of control drug addicts, dirty people, and muslims.
