It's a cool concept but I don't think we should be practicing cloning on humans or animals, even though I know we already have.

What do you think of cloning??

I'm not for it, unless its essential to scientific research that doesn't involve the suffering of an animals.
As much as I would love to see a giant ground sloth or wolly mammoth, I'd prefer if they didn't have to suffer at the hands of humans again.
Dolly the sheep didn't last long did she?

Did no one listen read to what I said...? Also let's say you wanted a clone of Michael Jackson when he was 20, you have to get the DNA from him but on top of that you have to wait like 20 years for it to actually look like him. Here is the video I saw to understand.

that unsettles me. obviously in the future when our resources get depleted we'd need to clone, but it's unsettling all the same. i feel like it'd be the same problem as looking at a doll that looks almost human. idk i'd just be weirded out, who knows what clones are capable of.

I am totally alright with it for science and medical technology. The fact that they can clone tissue and organs if a major breakthrough and could save many lives.
As far as cloning whole animals and people goes, I don't think it is 'wrong', but I think it is weird. You will end up with something that is a perfect genetic copy, but isn't the same at all. Human personalities are a combination of nature and nurture, and it would be absolutely impossible to recreate the exact environments and circumstances that make a person who they are. In my opinion it would do no good for the person who 'wants someone back' to have them cloned. They would just be painfully reminded of the original every time they saw them and the person, or animal, would not be the same.
TL;DR I think it would do more harm than good to clone whole animals or people, but organs and tissue are cool. ^-^

cloneing would be possible outside of another liveing body but we're not tencologically advanced enough to create an accepted artificial , i dont want to say copy or simulation because it would be real, of a woumb so that the cloned fetus could grow outside of a human body.
we may get to the point were we can but we're nowhere close.

As a biologist, I think cloning is a good concept, especially with regard to organs. However, I think it still needs to be improved upon.... it would also damage population gene pools if done too much to whole organisms which is an issue in itself
