I do not feel cloning of Humans is very wise at all. Why mess up what we already have and what the almighty have created. I am sorry, but I do not believe us human should play God.
Besides, it would be freaky to see alot of me going around. LOL
Ok, all of the people in this thread who seem to think that the point of cloning is to have someone exactly the same as you - you're all wrong and you have complitely and absolutely missed the point of cloning.
Three types of cloning, which you all should research before you all start to sell me your philosophy on cloning - Embryo cloning, Adult DNA cloning (reproductive cloning) and Therapeutic cloning (biomedical cloning).
There are obviously good and bad points to cloning, and depending from what perspective you're looking at it, some are better than others.
Should cloning be allowed - yes, I think it should. The aim of cloning is not to make everyone the same, but so that some diseases can be cured - with the help of cloning this can be achieved ( using healthy cells from your identical ) as well as perfectly matched, replacement organs could become freely available to sick and dying people. And this could improve the quality of lifestyle in many countries.
However there are bad points - what about morality. The purpose of the cloan would most probably be to benefit yourself
However that poses a morality question of making your identical only to use his/hers cells and organs - how moral is that in reality - another human being's purpose is to help you only. Also in therapeutic cloning, the pre-embryo is not allowed to develop to the embryo stage. There are all other cell problsm which i cant say im familiar with very well.
So, its not exactly black and white - there are many benefits as well as downsides to it.

Yeah, but with cloning, I fear the downsides of it more. Though I do hope one day, one can find cures for the many diseases out there and help with the handicap of many.
I just do not know if cloning is a way to go, but who knows?
I also think it would be a good idea to clone organs.
It would save alot lives.
But cloning a human i kind of disagree because why would anyone want to?

I didn't say your cloning memories, I just said clone the body, when your about to die put your brain in his body. Your walking around with the same memories but a younger body.
I'm indifferent on animal cloning, but I'm against human cloning. I swear I would go into a panicing state if I can into the clone of one of my friends or family members. I believe there are other people EXACTLY like us, but who actually HAVE souls, on other planets and the such. No human cloning though, I would have a panic attack if I saw a clone of myself that had no soul.

You cannot clone just organs by itself, how can you? I order to have an organ you need to have a human which will have such organ for transplant. Same goes for the cells.
