is cloning humans ethical? why or why not?

Answer 1

Scientests believe that cloning is possible by getting molicules and adding can create a living creature, they tried it with the tasmanian devil which got extinct and they found a dead one and tried to clone it... No such luck, but you never know scientists are learning more and more every day!

Answer 2

I think it's the possible reasoning behind the cloning that is unethical. Why would anyone need a clone? Organ harvesting is a possible reasoning: if humans were cloned with purposeful mental defects, so that they are expendable, or almost non-human without an emotional or intelligent brain, that is unethical.

There's also the issue of cloning people who have died early, in order for them to "live on". That is not fair for the clone, who only shares DNA, not the memories or life of the dead person.

There are some (not everyone, or me) who believe that cloning experiments will result in many dead embryos and fetuses, and that such experiments are unethical.

Answer 3

It's human nature to expand and explore new horizons. Testing ethical boundaries is an integral part of that exercise. As science progresses, humans will likely move through the cloning phenomenon toward other, currently unknowable, concepts. Ethical debates will rage on, but humankind WILL move onward...

Answer 4

ethics changes with time. in the future i believe everyone will transplant their brains from aging bodies into new cloned bodies. and good luck to them.
