Speaking with a scientific point of view, I think cloning could potentially help millions of people that do need liver transplants, heart transplants, etc. If we could somehow clone individual organs without having to clone a whole human being clone just to pick it apart like a car for it's parts that would be a great breakthrough.
But, speaking with the clone's rights in mind, essentially growing humans just to harvest organs would be a horrible existence for the clones. And even though they are simply clones and many would argue whether or not they would have a soul or not, the clone would still feel emotions and pain, have thoughts and ideas, and to grow them simply to pull organs out of them would be incredibly cruel.
I don't know if it's true but I have heard that with livers, you can donate just a slice or 'sliver' lol of your liver and it will grow into a whole liver and enable someone to have a transplant. I don't know if that's true, but if you could clone organs alone that would be great!

No, people just need to realize death is the only thing that is promised in life and trying to cheat it will never happen.That is what those who believe in cloning are trying to do whether they believe it or not trying to cheat death. Its sad people are so afraid to see their maker.Except your fate.And cloning your kidney would only give you that same kidney

The technology to clone humans doesn't exist yet.
In the future you may be able to clone organs, in which case I don't see anyone having an objection.
If you are referring to cloning your whole body, keeping it in cold storage till you need pieces, than you may be creating some ethical issues.

no cloning is not right because that clone doesn't have enough kidneys and cloning isn't gonna give you another kidney!!!it makes you get rid of one so your clone can live!DUH!!!!!!!!and i am probably younger than u and i know that!i am a teen/tween

no cloning for humans is available yet because its still in its fetal stages of development.
