"the production of clones of human beings" is good thing or not? yes - why?,no - why?

Answer 1

Don't know man...what purpose it could serve...perhaps servants, or soldiers...wouldn't they have consciousness of their own? It would be like human beings. We should continue to grow them old fashion-style...re-create organic tissue to fix people...could be a good idea don't know if it can be done...
Just don't see the need or purpose. Does anyone know more?

Answer 2

I don't tkhink so that this kind of thing is good for us to do , simply because we are not created to create things beyond God's will. If we are to create a certain specie similar to us then we are like just making ourselves like the own God of that creature. And if this happen then we could make same images as to that of our dead relatives and may seemingly bring them back to life but with different emotions. This can possibly lead then to a destruction in the way we view the human perse. we can have them but not to the extent of having everything cloned soon. This is really very frightening. Think of it guy!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 3

Yes and no. The idea of genetically identical people doesn't bother me as this occurs naturally already in the everyday process of reproduction. Gotta love twins!! And everybody knows that even identical twins aren't completely identical. Genes have some sway over our personalities and behavior but another factor is of course our environment. So even if you cloned Einstein would he still have the same interest in science, who knows what happened in his past that led to influencing his thoughts and ideas in his future. So maybe I could clone myself or my deceased child, but would it be me exactly? Creating a genetically identical copy of my "spare parts" so to speak, as done in therapeutic cloning would so come in handy though! Quite frankly the world could use another Me! But seriously aiding in preserving life(i.e. organ transplant) and providing infertile parents with children who will have at least some of their own DNA (i know there are plenty of parent-less children out there who need adopting, blah blah blah you could say the same to perfectly fertile parents too) How it is researched comes under much scrutiny and tends to be the negative side of the argument. . As for us being "god" we didn't create something from nothing... it's all borrowed materials previously in existance due to God (if you are the sort who believes in one). God gave us minds to explore our world and tools to shape it. If DNA happens to be another tool so be it. Let the cloning commence!

Answer 4

I call it "The struggle between moral values and substantial health"

Here I have an "essay" (written by me, I am not stealing anything, lol) about a broader idea (stem cell research)
It is a bit long, but informative and factual...

Stem cells represent the building blocks of every cell/tissue of the living body. The society and the world of science encounter a 21st century medical controversy between saving millions of people, or following the society ethics and morals. All lies on stem cell research, which is seemed as unethical by many, and for science and medicine as the life savior of millions and even billions of people. Scientists search impatiently ways to use stem cells to cure diseases, increase life expectancy, and provide an infinite supply of cell and tissue transplants for future generations.

Stem cell research encompasses a great range of topics, from curing diseases to cloning people and even immortality. When the topic comes into mind the vast majority of people think about cloning and the killing of embryos in order to save another person. While in the other hand, the vast majority of scientists and doctors have other matters in mind. Now scientists know that stem cells can be found in fully grown organisms, not only in embryos. These stem cells dedicate their existence to replenish the blood, skin, and other tissues of these fully grown living bodies. Therefore it seems unnecessary to kill embryos in order to get stem cells. Scientists then, try to locate the blood-forming stem cells and simulate their habitat to later be able to produce this special kind of cells in a laboratory. Stem cells can multiply themselves indefinitely and turn into any kind of cells that make up the body. Ergo, scientists hope that stem cells will enable them to cure an innumerable quantity of diseases such as several kinds of cancer, Parkinson’s disease, diabetes, and other blood disorders. For example, Leukemia patients in the near future may perhaps receive a newly produced blood-making system, while Parkinson’s patients may perhaps obtain freshly created brain cells.

This scientific and medical breakthrough could in a brief amount of time, increase life expectancy of humans and even any kind of domestic animal. Techniques have been used to isolate stem cells from the rest of the cells, and have successfully replenished the whole blood system of mice, reviving them from a predictable dead. This technique used with mice, new techniques to come, and techniques that have been already developed, offer a great future for the medical field. Scientists hope that stem cells will provide new ways to fight diseases and even eradicate them completely, and by doing so, increasing life expectancy as a whole. In 1991 a scientist called Weissman and his team of researchers found the human stem cell, and patented the cell and the procedure to isolate it. Since then, scientists all over the globe have been doing clinical trials using stem cells. Even Weissman’s company received permission to begin testing with stem cells in multiple myeloma patients whose immune systems have been eradicated by chemotherapy. These trials seem successful most of the time, and for example a man named Rubinstein already transplanted stem cells to leukemia patients and inherited diseases patients and ended successful on every patient. In addition Weissman’s testing which will be occurring somewhere in between 2006 and 2007, will increase life expectancy of patients with cancer by creating a whole new immune system for them using stem cells. Clearly stem cells can bring hope in increasing life expectancy enormously in a relative short amount of research time.

Furthermore some other scientists are researching stem cells, not only to provide cures for multiple diseases, but also to make transplants that will not be rejected by the living body, which happen a lot with conventional organs. For that cloning comes into play, because cloning defines itself as the process of genetically creating a replica of a molecule, cell, plant, animal, or human being. By using a cloning method relating stem cells scientists hope that in some years they could clone organs for future use in transplants, which will no be rejected by the patient’s body. Ergo cloning holds great promise for the future of medical science as a tool to produce compatible organs for patients in need. Furthermore by cloning cells the other goal, which is curing diseases, will facilitate itself. In addition a technique called nuclear transfer cloning could help regenerate and repair damage or unhealthy human tissues and organs. This application of stem cell research in the direction of cloning could greatly improve human life, increasing the overall life expectancy by curing and regenerating the human body and all of its components. By regenerating diseased or damaged organs, transplants of organs could be avoided also. To finish, it can be said that the application of stem cells for cloning seems to bring new hope for the medical field and the human raze in general.

Controversy comes when dealing with side effects of stem cell research and the bad side of cloning. A genetically identical copy of a human being can be created, but the idea of cloning a human being just for the simple reason of using him as an organ donor seems unethical, immoral, inhuman, and even unthinkable, but it can be possible. Ergo the vast majority of people tend to ban all ideas suggested relating stem cell research and cloning. In addition to the cloning controversy, people also ban any idea suggesting a designer baby (a perfect clone genetically altered to born without faults). People say this holds a morally wrong subject, because it takes out the unconditional love and acceptance that all parents have for their children, because child birth would be like ordering especial designed offspring.

Many more possible controversies appear around stem cell research. Controversies over discoveries which could be a big step for humanity towards living longer and healthier, but seemed by many as unethical, maybe just because of ignorance about the topic, or maybe because of the insecurity that it could lead to immoral applications. The certain thing seems to be that stem cell holds the key of curing diseases, therefore prolonging life, and several more applications that could eradicate most of the health issues that people fight in their daily lives today.

There it is... Hope that helps clear some doubts.... I think it can be both good and bad, as anything in this world can be any of the two...

It will always depend upon how you use it, and for what purposes...
