POLL: Is human cloning wrong?

[N e s s]

Wtf how is this still relevant

I only made this poll for my science project

 

[okaimii]

it's cool that they have the technology , but it's not okay to clone an entire person . it makes people easily disposable instead of individual , irreplaceable beings . on the other hand , the technology would be very beneficial to health science and science in general . overall , it depends on how somebody decides to use the information and how easily accessible it would be

My thoughts exactly.

oh i was wondering why tf i got a notification about a thread i didnt remember, it is old af ..

idk why that user was banned but i'll just say that using clones as human lab rats isnt ethical at all and would raise questions like what makes us human and whatever. clones wouldnt be just like humans except without human rights, they would be humans who would be cloned.
if you want to test things on humans we already have a lot of them, we don't need any more. then we have some problems like how do we choose who (will we take poor people, criminals, minorities, choose at random or do something else?) , is it ok to take random people to try this new super cool weapon (aren't there any other ways to see how this thing could work? why would we want to test new weapons on humans - shouldnt ppl kinda try to stop wars instead of create more of them?) , what is morally right/wrong to do to someone In The Name Of Science etc.
im sure there are a ton of stuff that could be done if scientists got to do whatever they wanted. if there were no moral obligations ppl could go right ahead and do whatever to ppl for science, but there are reasons why that's illegal (it's kinda mean and stuff...)

to bring this back to cloning, the user who bumped this thread (rip) seemed to think that it would be okay to use the clones for these things (but it isnt ok to use "real ppl" or w/e for these things today bcuz of laws and whatever) and i think that's a big part of the discussion on cloning. would the clones be human, have human rights and be considered as good as Organic People? or would they be trash ppl for science and slavery only?

anyways lol let's let this thread die now ik i should have left it alone but lmao

I wouldn't be sure myself. I mean, yeah it can be useful to us for research but there's the concequences to think about too.

Oh, lol this is outdated. My bad :/

Why is science winning? What do you have against God? If he didn't exist, and you guys died. Would all you see is nothing but darkness? Huh?

Well, some people believe in him and some don't - it's not like they're against a God.

I don't agree with human cloning for moral reasons, not religious reasons. If God never existed then I wouldn't be upset about seeing nothing but darkness because I wouldn't have existed, and I could never be dead.

 

[kayleee]

If cloning humans is used to harvest organs/other things from them to help other people, then I'm like nah. I don't really see a point to cloning so I'm gonna vote no but I'm sure there's plenty of good reasons..

it seems u dont understand that most religions that follow God have room for people having their own opinions even if they go against the church and as long as they're not running around murdering their parents it's fine x

i believe in god but i dont think god is petty enough to think people who have their own opinions "hate" him lawl!

There was a really good Star Trek: The Next Generation episode that reminds me of cloning humans and it gave me a good perspective of it. If anyone knows the show, there's a very sentient highly advanced android called Data and this scientist wanted his blueprints basically to replicate and clone mass androids such as him and the whole episode goes on saying why that would be a bad idea.

Basically in the end of the episode, Data is himself, he is unique, and same goes for humans. There's only one of you. If cloning greatly advances and mass productions of humans were to occur would could that lead to? Will mass productions of cloned humans have the same liberty and freedom as non-cloned? Would they become a "race,"? Would it lead to perhaps slavery, or a kind of discriminatory status? Or maybe these humans would be used as science and testing? How will these mass cloned humans integrate with society and families at large?

I see it more so of a secular and ethical perspective rather than religious.

Let me just say that when I made this thread I shouldn't have made religion one of the options. Think of it less of a religious standpoint and rather an ethical one.

Lets say that a cloned human was to be born as a person. However, their genes were modified to make them bound to become an NFL all star. What do you think about that? Is cloning too far when something like this happens?

I think it's too far either way, as I've already said, but that would be even more ridiculous. If you could do that, what would be the point of sports? It wouldn't be based on skill anymore. And who is to say that clone would want to be a sports star? What if they had all this pressure to grow up to be a certain way? Clone or not, they're still human.

Not that this truly has anything to contribute to the thread's topic but, I embarrassingly at first read the thread title as "is human CLOTHING wrong". I was going to be like "OF COURSE IT'S SO WRONG, PUBLIC NUDITY SHOULD BE ALLOWED!!1!", then it was like... "Oh". I know probably nobody cares, but it was still nice to have a laugh over it.

I think that's reasonable. A lot of people make decisions of all kinds based on what they think their religion teaches them to do. Trust me, I went to a private school for 6 years.

I don't know if cloning is morally wrong, but I think it can have a lot of unforeseen consequences on the human psyche.

 

[abc123wee]

The problem I have with it is that if you're cloned, it's still not YOU. I'd be terrified if someone cloned me, and it started saying all this stuff I'd never say after I died.

"cloning" is creating a genetically identical person from a sample of DNA... cloning and turning someone into an NFL all star is "genetic engineering". I think this runs into the whole ethical dilemma of why we choose traits to enhance over others? From a scientific standpoint, this is absolutely amazing and if we can do it, yes, do it. The ramifications of being able to create human tissue and change the genetic make-up would be astronomically great for the world. However, since we still have yet to even discover a fair chunk of what the human genome even does (not to mention the even greater percentage of non-coded DNA that we don't even look at as often and lack of knowledge of the interactions between genes), I don't forsee anything like that in the near future....

I can go so much more into the benefits above, but no one reads my scientific posts anyway so I kept this short
