Out of curiosity, what do you guys think of the cloning issue? Personally, I don’t really have an objection to it. I see nothing wrong with therapeudic cloning, and as for reproductive cloning, I don’t see anything wrong with creating life from one person’s genetic material as opposed to two. Sure, it’s still risky and dangerous at this point, but new technology is always risky and dangerous when it’s first introduced. That’s why I think scientists should be allowed to do more research. Out of curiosity, what exactly do people find morally wrong with cloning? I can understand the stem cell debate, but I can’t understand this. They’re just cloning human cells, in hopes that they can develop new techniques for treatment of patients with Parkinsons, diabetes, and spinal cord injuries, to name a few.

Also, I find it amusingly ironic that some people are urging a ban on human cloning in the United States. Don’t they realize that they’d have more control over cloning if they allowed research in the U.S.? After all, if a scientist wants to study cloning, he or she could just study abroad. No one is keeping them in the U.S.; cloning research would still go on.

As always, if I am hopelessly deluded and making a fool of myself for my lack of vision and devotion to misinformation, I encourage you to correct me. If I’m completely wrong, or you want to express a dissenting opinion, I want to hear it. Let those comments fly, baby.
