If I clone myself and then kill my own clone is that wrong and immorral? At what point is a clone a person?

i believe a clone would be a person in all aspects that you and i are a person.  they hold the same genetic code, function with the same life processes, etc etc. therefore, in my opinion, an embryonic clone should be treated as an embryonic original. it doesn't matter how they were created, they were still created.

How would you like it if one day you found out that your not original? That you were made as a copy. Just about all people are original and it is something you could never be. How would you feel not having a Mum and Dad... "oh I'm a clone of Mr Jones" would you (the clone) be OK with that?

I would not want cloning after I die for the simple reason that there is only one of me. However for a clone to be me it would have to have my memories, my talents, my thoughts, etc. ,the clone would look like me but have a completely different life than I, so if they could take out the weaknesses from my genes and make a clone that doesn't have any major health problems I would consider letting them clone me after I die.

i know that s crap, coz on the positive earth myself.. wouldn't clone me to see if i am worthy, coz i myself know i'm worthy, and i'm probably the president of the positive earth, so u see  i think we are not clones just that it'd seem so coz there are so many silly ppl that they seem to clone themselves and reproduce alarmingly

jajaja no, it would commit murder, thank God i don't have one of those killer clones huh!!

For cloning organs/tissue but against cloning human beings

That's an interesting question.  The clone would grow up looking identical to the original Hitler and those who cloned him from Hitler's blood would know it and might have ulterior motives.  Ordinarily the clone would be a distinct person (neither good nor bad) but could be groomed (conditioned) to replace Hitler in all his evils.  He might think it's his birthright.  That would be reason enough to not use Hitler's blood to make a clone.  Also, if Hitler was psychotic, there might be a better than even chance that his clone would be similarly afflicted, if the problem was organic.

A human clone, if succesful, is just a twin of the original person (but younger).  That's seems morally legitimate.  But today the success rate would be very low; some of the failures would be horrible birth defects.  So it would be unethical to attempt cloning a human today.  Eventually, if it could be done reliably, it would be ethical (but getting there from here seems awfully difficult).

Why not? It wud be a dream come true if it so happens.I love myself so much that sooooooo many people love me and I being just one person ,cnt be with all,so if can be cloned shall get made many copies,one as a gud humanbeing to serve the world,second to be with my family and friends,third to live my fantacies,fourth to be a political figure to bring chage in the society,fifth to be a teacher to learn and teach the children,sixth to be an innocent child to just play n play,seventh to be....oh!I can go on and on.

Ethical issues in cloning include the following:\n\nFirst, there were many issues with Dolly the sheep.  Dolly aged much quicker than a normal sheep.  Some scientists think this was due to the shortening telomeres from Dolly's cloned DNA.  The telomere theory is complicated, so I won't go into it here.  Suffice to say that there MIGHT be health consequences if we clone humans.  Most ethicicsts think we should resolve all those issues rather than let some unfortunate cloned people be the guiniea pigs.\n\nSecond, there are many moral implications.  Would the cloned child have psychological or emotional problems knowing that he/she was not conceived in the traditional way?  Who would be the child's father?  Mother?  Other objections to cloning are of a categorical variety.  In other words, we shouldn't clone simply because it's weird.  Some people think we should not screw around with human nature.  We shouldn't be engineering people's genetics, and we shouldn't be copying people genetically for research or mere curiosity.\n\nBecause there are so many questions involving the effects of cloning I think we should not do it.  The biggest reason we should stay away is because there really is no compelling reason TO do it.  Why would you want to clone someone?  The only logical reason I have heard is that you can create a human that is genetically identical (or close to it) to someone with a serious or fatal medical condition.  Then you can be absolutely sure the the clone could share blood or organs or with the sick person.  I think it's a bit cruel to create a person solely for the intention of curing someone else.  It's just not fair to the unfortunate clone who not only has to give up his organ or blood or whatever, but he also has to deal with the stigma of being a clone.\n\nThe issues are much more complex than I have stated.  This was a cursory examination of a very, very complex topic.  It is really fascinating, though, and I encourage you to keep researching.  There are great books on the subject, and tons of opinions on the web.\n\nOne final issue is what effect would this have on our society?  Would we reduce our genetic variation if we started cloning on a large-scale basis?  Would that leave us more susceptible to genetic diseases because we have decreased the variability?  Would cloning alter our perception of humanity and the sanctity of life?  Would we devalue the individual since we could theoretically just copy a new one?

No Clone. He's much worse. Hitler never bombed his own country (twin towers 911) and then blame it on someone else to get his country into a war.\n\nI don't suppose any of those of you who enjoy slamming my answer have ever done the research & viewed the original footage on this, or for that matter even looked at the link. If I were correct you wouldn't even want to know because, where do you go from there? By the way, I'm very conservitive just not blind.

The world is already overpopulated and there are too many unwanted or orphaned children. Why would we need to clone a person except to use them as non-humans such as organ producers for organ donation or as slaves, etc. No matter which way you look at it, it is the arrogance of man who is messing with something he has not thought through. The consequences of this capability will be nothing but negative.

A clone genetically is no different than an identical twin. Both the clone and the original person come from the same DNA. The only difference is that the clone will be younger than the original person, as they were created later. All the same nature vs nurture principles apply to the clone as they do to any person or set of identical twins. Your environment has a lot to do with shaping your personality. Twins (and clones) personalities may be similar in many ways, but they will never be identical. Neither will live their lives having the exact same experiences or thinking the exact same way. A clone would have their own "soul" (if that is the term you like to use) as much as two twins have their own separate souls. Identical twins are nature's clones.

Killing a cloned man is a crime. He may be cloned but he is still a human being with rights.\n\nKilling a broiler chicken is not a crime since they are livestock. However, the manner in which they are raised, slaughtered and handled is often a crime which is why you should be picky about where you get your meat from. At best (if there is a best) the chicken lived too long in the slaughtering process. This is a common problem. At worst it has been mishandled to the point where eating one can make you ill. \n\nLets not even get into how the workers on farms and meat packing facilities are treated. That is the real crime.

Well, technically identical twins are clones and many organisms with asexual reproduction clone themselves, so yes. I think the question should be if an artificial clone can reproduce; but most of them don't even live more than a few days.

No. Identical twins are genetical clones but they have absolutely two diffenrent souls, different characters.\nIf God will ever allow people to be cloned, then He will also give these clones souls - because the clones are real people, with real needs, real life - and real soul.

I think there is nothing wrong with cloning. It is just creating an exact copy of someone's body, it isn't going to replicate their mind. If someone cloned Hitler, it would look like Hitler but it wouldn't actually be him. The clone would need to be raised under the exact same circumstances, and even then, he might react differently to his surroundings. It's like how twins look alike, but don't have the same personality. If they ever decided to clone humans, I'd volunteer to be a test subject, as long as I didn't have to raise my clone.
