I think it ir reasonable to clone a human. One reason to clone a human is to get duplicated organs. For example if you have a kidney ploblem and need a replacement you can just use your clones instead of a donor. And because its from your clone it was the same one you had before. Also there might not always be a donor ready so by having a clone you can always get what you need. I dont see the ploblem with cloning but if we did clone where would we keep them?

To be a clone, there are many suggested hardships. For one, knowing that you were made by scientific means and most likely for no other purpose besides to improve upon someone else's experiment. However, on the other hand it may be a proud factor to be known as one who was made to save the life of another. Because there are many ethical reasons and personal opinions to consider... cloning should not be permitted..instead lets just let it be what it is.

I don't believe it is ok to clone a human. Ths is because if a human is cloned that means that that will be identical to another. Also even if it is being done for medical reasons the clone could become very ill becaue of the medical treatments.

No, I do not believe it is appropriate to clone a human because it could be used the wrong way to make people who want to hurt us. I only think it is okay to clone someone if they have DNA that will help save multiple peoples lives because of their blood or something like that. Overall though, i do not think scientists should ever clone a human because it is not appropriate.

I believe thats it's okay to clone humans. It will give human extra organs or body parts if needed. The only thing bad is that clones know that they were genetically made. Also they know once they grow up there body parts may be given to the real person and they may just die after that. But i think cloning has more advantages then disadvantages.

I think it its okay to clone humans. If you have someone who is sick and needs a body part or something, you can use the clone's parts to replace them with. But it could be bad if there is too many clones becuase the world can slowly over populate.

Yes, i think it is okay to clone a human. You would get exrta organs from that person as well as if someone is sick or something. You could get DNA too if needed. It would be bad if there were to many clones though. That would increase our population to much.

I do not think it is ever appropriate to clone a human. having an exact replica of a person is unnessacary unless it's needed for medical purposes.

I think that cloning a human is good because it can save their life. First off, if the person is the exact match to it's clone it has an immediate donor for things like blood, a kidney, or things like that if the person was sick. It immediately eliminates a waiting list and the chance of dying from lack of donor.

Megan said...

No, I don't that is appropriate to clone a human, because if you take an exact copy of a person you're just asking for something to go wrong. Even if there was a medical issue it still would be impossible to make the sick person better because the clone would be an exact copy of the person that was sick. Also because this cloning prosess couuld be abused by people that might not take it seriously, and could eventually turn into something unreasonable.

I do not think that it is appropriate to clone a human. If people were cloned there would be too many people in the world. Also, if you were to clone a human to donate an important then the clone would just have been created to die. The clone wouldn't really have a purpose other than that.

I don't think that it is appropriate to clone humans. This event could lead to over-population. Also, I think it would be weird to see two people that look exactly alike. But, if you do clone someone it could possibly help someone that is sick. But overall, I think that cloning would be inappropriate.

I believe it is okay to clone a person, but only if there is no other medical way to save the already living person. However, if there is another solution i don't think the person should be cloned. The clone may feel resentment to their family when they get older, they were created only to save the person they were cloned from.

I think you should only clone a human if they want to be cloned. It will be appropriate if they ask to be cloned. The clone should be the original persons responsibility. Some circumstances could be that if the originla person needs a body part or organ.

M.Fergie said...

no because it probably would not be successful because they would not be living in the same time period or possibly in the same area so they would genetically be a clone but they could and most likely would not have the personality of the person it was cloned from

Brenna Hart said...

Yes I do think that it can be appropriate to clone a human. By cloning humans people can create more organs that can be used for different transplants to help people in surgeries. On the down side, the world can become too overpopulated.

I think is is never exceptable to clone a human. It is an unnatural phenomenon that scientists created. Cloning leads to an inbalance of the human race, eventually causing over-population. Being a clone also means you are identical to another human which is not how nature originally worked. There's a point where science just needs to stop because the earth was never so technologically advanced until now, and it throws off the natural flow of things.

No, I do not believe it is reasonable or appropriate to clone a human. Every human is different, and whoever created the world did that on purpose. Also, people could use the technology in a negative light to harm society. Cloning could be used to clone a specific race for instance, a faster way of what Hitler tried to do. Anyway you look at it, cloning is immoral and wrong

I think you should be able to clone a human because if a tragic incident occur you could recreate your child.

I do not think it is appropriate to clone a whole human. If they are going to let the clone live a normal life that person will have so many restrictions in life it is not fair. No one wants to spend there whole life as just a test subject. Also, if the clone is made to take the place of another the clone will never be the same as the origional person. It is okay to clone an organ, but not a whole person.
