Unethical and stupid. We aren't god. Death is a part of life; we should accept that. And no clone is going to be the same as the original creature, nor should creatures be created just as a replacement for lost ones.

All because people think that identical genes result into identical behaviour..

The cat - sad, very sad sad woman.
What really interests me about cloning, is the ability to replace parts - no I am not talking about growing full bodies and harvesting, I would be most interested to see a way to grow individual parts.
Just for a quick example, I normal happy healthy 3yo get hit with the flu, it triggers type 1 diabeties.
take a cell sample (bone marrow and stem cells anyone), maybe tweak the dna if possible so the new pancreas is not so suceptable to to failure, grow a new pancreas in vat, or maybe even inside the child?? implant. no regection, no costly drugs and the child can have a normal childhood.
This is the sort of thing I would love to see cloning being used for - to improve the quality of life for those living, not to bring back the dead or create super humans.Last edited by Sasq; 24 December 2004, 16:29.Juu nin to iro
English doesn't borrow from other languages. It follows them down dark alleys, knocks them over, and goes through their pockets for loose grammar.
