What are you opinions on it?
Do you think cloning should be made legal for humans?
If so, why?
If not, why?
What are your thoughts/opinions on cloning and science such as this?
Inspired by my science class and that thread about the drones, which can be found here: http://forums.bf2s.com/viewtopic.php?id=72478
I don't mean cloning isn't possible/won't happen, I was talking about the guys who were saying "Don't clone people because we will end up with a superior race of supermen who will enslave us all"lowing wrote:

communicators=cell phones
video monitors=video monitors and web cams
computers= well, computers
computer discs=floppy disks and cassettes.
any others?
cloning is already a science fact, is it really too much of a stretch to think that human cloning can not come to pass?

cloning is probably an interim technology on the path of cybernetics. man and machine will eventually converge. we will engineer our way to immortality.
you wanna see the future? watch Ghost In The Shell.
Was just arguing why cloning shouldn't replace sexual reproduction as the way we reproduce ourselves.Scorpion0x17 wrote:
Yeah, I understand all that, but then when it comes to cloning who's really talking about creating 'clone armies' and the like?Raga86 wrote:
Yep maybe sexual reproduction is more "risky" than cloning but only in the short run....
The really great thing about cloning is you don't have to produce a whole living being - you can just reproduce certain tissues and/or organs.
Humans have too much emotions, we could clone more soldiers and something else lolGawwad wrote:
Cloning humans is a bad idea (evolution wise, better keep mixing the gene pool), but cloning for medical reasons should definately be allowed.
No, im against cloning humans/parts of humans in anyway.Scorpion0x17 wrote:

Let me also add that I will bet anyone who is against it, will change their minds when/if their kid needs one.
