Well, a lot of individals consider it unethical.
In 1998, 2001, and 2003 the U.S. House of Representatives voted whether to ban all human cloning, both reproductive and therapeutic. Each time, divisions in the Senate over therapeutic cloning prevented either competing proposal (a ban on both forms or reproductive cloning only) from passing. President George W. Bush is opposed to human cloning in any form. Some American states ban both forms of cloning, while some others outlaw only reproductive cloning.
Current regulations prohibit federal funding for research into human cloning, which effectively prevents such research from occurring in public institutions and private institutions such as universities which receive federal funding. However, there are currently no federal laws in the United States which ban cloning completely, and any such laws would raise difficult Constitutional questions similar to the issues raised by abortion.
The UK, U.N., Australia, European Union all have different laws on human cloning.

Because of the failure rate. Each successful attempt at cloning is accompanied by dozens of spontaneous abortions and dozens of animals born with birth defects. That's acceptable for cloning cattle, but not acceptable for cloning a human.

I don't think many people would wanna be the guinea pig that get's cloned. It would be awesome if it was a success.
Once they clone more animals and get good witht he process, then they should start on humans.

Because we are afraid. We don't know what will happen, when something we make ends up being as smart as us. With one comes another, and another. Fear drives us away, and also towards it. If it's human clone you can't kill it after a certain point, because it's human..it's very complicated thinking.

Because we don't know if there would be any problems with that clone, i.e. diseases, or they only live a short while...i wouldn't like to be told i was only going to live till i was twenty, and actually i'm not unique, i'm not even me, i'm someone else who was here first, who they felt like copying.
Also, if they clone someone just to use their organs...well, i wouldn't like to create a living human just so i could get a new heart without having to take anti-rejection drugs for the rest of my life...it's immoral, as they would have to live until they were born at least, then you would just kill them, just to save you a little trouble.
Cloning just to the embyo stage, so that you could get stem cells or whatever is ok though, because then it's not actually really living. and it's saving someone's life.

No limits. we ought to push humanity to the snapping think approximately it relatively is genetic makeup. Harvest organs to maintain your guy or woman existence, the clone does no longer exist devoid of you, you need to retake what's you. if your some conservative who supplies me a thumb down because of the fact i dont think of such as you, i will discover the thank you to return the prefer

I think=ink that it's a law science. I really don't think that when laws were written that there was the ability to clone people.

Because a lot of things can go wrong and it is very risky. Dolly the sheep died young, she sufered numerous medical complicatios. I don't think it is illegall in every country. Don't forget some people have clones, identical twins and triplets etc.

Wasn't that the exact logic used by Nazi scientists during the Third Reich? The suffering or deprivation of an individual is a small price to pay for the betterment of mankind....?
And thus we had Buchenwald, Dachau, and Auschwitz where such crusading doctors as Joseph Mangele conducted his 'experiments'.
