If we made human clones and put them on another planet to see?

Question

if they could live on it, wouldnt that in turn make us aliens to them? because we wouldnt tell them they're an experiment would we? Who's to say 'we' are not an experiment?

I'm not saying I believe this, just something someone said to me. I meant wouldnt we be aliens to them? I say clones because although they would be genetically human, would they necessesarily be classed as human? Would we want them to know they are an experiment? as we would be observing them to see if they 'could inhabit the planet. i dont know its just all food for thought!!

Answer 1

it could be possible,sounds sci-fi,but has logic!cloned and
a little reconfiguration in the DNA,and presto!

Answer 2

Interesting point. But why clones? (I mean, given their propensity for getting ill and dying young, why not just normal offspring?) From an ethical point of view, clones are just as human as non-clones. So if you were prepared to conduct the experiment with one, then why not the other?

Also, they wouldn't be 'aliens'. Aliens are, surely, altogether different life-forms from which ever life-form they are 'alien' to!

Even say, a tree, is far from being an alien-to-us life-form: like ourselves it is carbon based and, genetically, it has far much more in common with us than it has that is different.

(Interestingly, this is in fact one of the many obvious notions that highlight terrestrial xenophobia and racism as the bigotry they are!)

Alienness has nothing to do with geographical location. On or off this or that planet or other.

But, I agree: "Who's to say 'we' are not an experiment".

The only doubts I would introduce are those raised by the incomprehensibly vast distances even to the edges of our own Solar System - a journey to which at the speed of the fastest known artifact (the 'New Horizons' craft, launched last January) would still take ten thousand years - and that's still only the edge of the Solar System. Never mind the nearest star - that would take longer than all the time humans have ever lived on Earth for!

So when you look at it, it does really seem, at least for this particular area of space, that space travel is, simply a no-no. Inward or outward bound. (The inner planets, by comparison, aren't even outside the same room and so, don't really qualify for 'travel' to. That's just sort of 'chatting' to!).

Even the scenario, say, of other beings having deliberately 'seeded' comets to be left to 'randomly' wander about in space is problematic because, so far as we know, the comets are local to our own (albeit incomprehensibly vast) Solar System.

Either way, I think you have to put your experimenters within our own Solar System. But I would still agree that it is impossible to say that there are not many worlds out there in the vastness that lies between Pluto/Charon (the edge of the inner Solar System) and the Oort cloud (the outer edge of the Solar System), some of which could, I suppose, be thus populated.

As the Sun would from there however appear as just another indistinct and distant star - much like the rest - it's difficult to know were the energy for life, let alone technology, would be derived from, though. Temperatures would be around absolute zero.

Life is on the whole (ie, barring 'extremophiles' possibly) almost certainly very much an inner solar system sort of thing!

Answer 3

We could be an experiment. However DNA indicates that we are related to all other life on this planet, to a greater or lesser extent. And we have fossils of pre-human ancestors which show a pretty continuous line of descent from apes to humans.

So either the experimenters made clones of all the millions of extant species, and buried fake fossils, or they just cloned a single-celled organism billions of years ago and let evolution take its course.

Answer 4

Why bother with cloning? Assuming you can get cloning to work, this would be no different from using regular, non-cloned humans to colonize that other planet.

In any case, the evidence is overwhelming that we originated on this planet, as an earlier answer already pointed out.

Answer 5

fairly confident. however the comparable is genuine for many different theories or legends or myths approximately the place human beings got here from. i choose to propose waiting for the info. the biggest message of Genesis a million interior the Bible is that God created. It does not truly attempt to grant a medical, or maybe a historic, clarification of ways. The Bible does not rule out evolutionary approaches because of the fact the mechanism for the form of the physique of the human animal. all of us with any background in technology will evaluate the info to work out what it says. the two significant, they'll evaluate what the info does not say, or what there is not sufficient info to assert. pertaining to to the in basic terms proper source of existence and the universe, technology might desire to admit it does not be conscious of. And if some sacred writing claims to respond to this, evaluate the two the credibility of that checklist, and the translation of that checklist. evaluate God turning out to be the universe in basic terms as an expression of His creativity, as an artist creates a portray or a sculpture. I evaluate that greater credible than an alien pass to, particularly given which you will possibly desire to then evaluate the place the extraterrestrial beings got here from and how they got here into existence.

Answer 6

you know that sounds vaguely like the scene at the end of men in black 2. The door in the office that opens up to a locker room of hundreds of universes. all controlled by some alien master race...

Answer 7

its already been done im told.....we are actually clones...and the aliens are our more advanced selfs coming to check on us...and they have thousands of worlds like us they say!! they planed everything from adam and eve to things that happend this day!! i tryd to ask what the future holds...so i can maybe have a stake on at the bookies...but translation was terminated...only after he told me the world will be in for a big desiese very soon...this was this morning i spoke to him!! dont believe me i dont expect u to....but live life to the full just now coz i think were going to pop our cloggs!!

Answer 8

First of all..... cloning is cruelty (at least in my opinion).
Secondly, this idea seems like fantasy right now.

But u never know......today's fantasy might be tomorrow's reality.

Answer 9

They'd be human --so wouldn't be aliens.

Answer 10

if it's human as you say I think they are going to die because they need oxygen to breathe
