Yeah there's no need for it.
I don't mind cloning animals, but for humans it's just weird as fuck. Plus what would be the point?

maverick · October 05, 2014, 05:44:20 PM

I don't know if I'd call it immoral but I also don't think it should be practiced often.

I couldn't count the amount of uses a personal clone would have.

Spoiler

The plot of that film was the biocompany was too retarded to be able to selectively develop the brain. Organ farms would have the clones never wake up from a coma from birth till death. Quite frankly I see that as more immoral.

But you wouldn't have to clone an entire human for that would you? Couldn't you just grow the organ you needed?

Yes, which is exactly what's being worked on right now. Lab grown organs.

Not immoral, no <.<

I'd like to see it done, for psychological research purposes into development and nature/nurture >.>

Jocephalopod · October 05, 2014, 09:13:16 PM

no matter the moral justification....

it would be fucking cool

Death · October 05, 2014, 09:26:29 PM

If I could I'd make a lot of clones so I could replace my organs once they become all used up! It's the perfect donor. and if you could implant memories in someone you could become immortal, essentially.

If you need surgery at some point in your life you can get your origins cloned before hand so you have a supply for them. Instead of having to wait for one you can get one that day or whatever without having to be on some list. The other thing is that they can clone a supply of origins so they are ready when needed.

Cloning humans just to take their organs is pretty fucking disgusting. Organs can be grown without having to clone a whole human.

Isara · October 06, 2014, 07:36:46 AM

I wonder, if someone wanted to stay immortal then would a clone be considered as a legitimate replacement for the said person?

Super Irish · October 06, 2014, 08:36:24 AM

Depends on the use.

Wars make the death toll less to bear on people, but it's still a person being killed only instead it's Dave #569375 instead of Dave who's at home.

Science. They always say two heads are better than one...does it count if one's a cloned head of the other?

Exploration. Much like canaries in the 19th century or robots today, instead of risking "originals", just throw a clone in to check the safety of mines, melted down reactors, space missions, car crash tests, etc...

More Than Mortal · October 06, 2014, 08:40:32 AM

No, because I'm not some neo-Luddite bitch.

Magos Domina · October 06, 2014, 08:48:24 AM

Cloning as in making mindless bodies without any cognitive function to serve as organ donors? No.

Cloning as in making people just like you and I to harvest them for organs (i.e. The Island)? Fuck no.

Cloning people for shits n giggles? Haha the things I could do with 100 Kiyos....

Or the things 100 Kiyos could do with you. Remember, they all have your mind...

Honestly Cloning brings in the whole issue of human rights, and the fear that they are under the ownership of a certain group.

Honestly we need to first become more ethically advanced before cloning is done.

Yeah but now we can just 3D print the organs themselves anyways...

I should clarify that mistreatment of clones is just as immoral as the mistreatment of "natural" humans.

I agree, but I don't think everyone sees it that way.

Reminds me of the movie Cloud Atlas.
