BF2S Forums Do you believe in Cloning?

Clone Mohammed. In the Topkapi palace in Istanbul I saw a hair from the prophet's beard. I say we use it to clone him.

I don't think a hair would be able to survive that long

Yes to all. Cloning is a fact, mankind would be foolish not to take advantage of the pollibilities. There's too much talking about ethics concidering the opposers are fairly outnumbered. Cloning is one step closer to life enhancements and cures for diseases like HIV and cancer.

Do you think medical science is good though?

Taking away cancer and HIV means that there will be new, more terrible diseases discovered, more mistakes made. We will think we are all God, we are not, we are fragile and make foolish mistakes, the human race, on a whole, wants to survive.

Is this good though? Taking away disease and sickness means we will not die, more people are being born, over-crowding the planet, causing more poverty, polluting it more, making it a more miserable life for people in Asia and Africa, and, everywhere actually.

Yes, clone "anything", albeit with very strict regulations and restrictions. Maybe this is the end to world hunger? Just so long as the food is safe to eat.

And poor Peta, they complain about how cattle / livestock / etc. are treated in slaughterhouses and whatnot, if we end it by cloning animals, they'll complain about that instead.

I don't believe in negative progress in science. Your question is good though. As for increasing population I guess the evolution goes into practise again, survival of the fittest (and luckiest). I do support the thing China does, with one child per family (still this kinda misses the subject).

The doubters and opposers to cloning are only slowing down the progress, I'd rather have them done making cures for cancer before I'm dead than after

But, i don't have a negative attitude to progress in science, i like science, and i am interested in science anyway.

But thats not the point, the point is, bringing God into this, he gave us disease didn't he? He did not intend for the human race to live forever did he? Even though some of you may not believe in God, i do.
Ill update this post later, i have T.V to watch.

Cloning humans is a bad idea (evolution wise, better keep mixing the gene pool), but cloning for medical reasons should definately be allowed.

Why?

Btw D&ST

i think it wont be used to "clone" humans for a while.... a long while >50 years. its still in the ethics and morals stage. it should be just stem cells and working on curing diseases for a while, till some scientist breaks it and opens the gate so to say with actually cloning humans.

(just think if u were the first cloned human... like dolly the sheep..... thatd be worse than "you're adopted". lmfao. "you're a clone...")

ROFL

You clone the perfect humans about a few billion times, the original human population becomes useless, since the other clone is 'perfect'. Why have normal humans do the job if you can get something far superior to any other human.

We'd be extinguishing ourselves.

well.. the scientists would be exterminating the "other" humans. they;d be exempt cuz they made them. lol

lol, i bet it'd backfire like frankenstein. lol.

Wouldn't happen, even though I don't see the problem in "perfectiong" ourselves

lol. never say 'never'.

and u dont? what'd be the of a human race if we just made them ourselves?
