Human cloning possible, but deemed too unethical to ever practice. Do you agree?

Niggas are scared people are gonna clone hitler!! Lmao, what the fuck is he gonna do now? Anything he and his followers try will be met with him getting bodied.

Cloning hitler is not like cloning Frieza or Cell or some shit.

In the USA we need more people so that we can beat our graying competitors Japan, China, Russia, most of Europe, Brazil and most of Asia.

It depends, if you clone a human being and the clone is sentient but then you kill the clone for its organs or something, that is dark and murder. However, I would have no problem with people cloning individual organs and saving them for later or something.

Might be wrong/inaccurate here but different people constantly reproducing allows mankind to mutate as rapidly as diseases or physiological defects. A world filled with millions or billions of clones mixed with us “originals” would make us more susceptible to illnesses that might have been phased out through natural means.

I think the GitS/Deus Ex reality makes more sense. Really, all you need to function in this world are your head and torso (and family jewels). Prosthetic limbs even more advanced than what’s available today would increase productivity and improve lifestyles in unimaginable ways. Though it doesn’t solve the mortality problem unfortunately (or fortunately?)

And souls and “consciousness” makes no sense to me, I mean how much of your personality is defined by your hormones or your diet or trauma or even mental illness? Your brain is soup–full of “ingredients” that affects how you perceive the world around you. The “life force” that allows self-awareness is another story, but simply “uploading” yourself to a hard drive or something couldn’t be the same person.

It is.

I am for using cloning for growing and harvesting of organs and tissues, but once you start cloning an entire person you run into major ethical issues such as if the clone has constitutional rights and what clones can be used for. IMO they will likely never solve the problem of telomerase with clones, and they will always have “old” genetic material and will be inferior to that which is created outside of the lab. I could see substitution/removal of harmful genes in zygotes happening a LONG time before clones.

I dont want to be cloned if I cant stay alive forever, doombot style

We’re way overpopulated.
There are too many stupid people in this world.
There has to be some form of quality control.

I love it when people post while they’re off their meds.

Here’s my thought. I’d love for someone more scientifically versed to answer me back or correct me.

Cloning as it stands is using copied strands of your DNA, extracted from yourself, to make the copy.

One of the reasons that inbreeding is bad for our species is the defects in our individiual genetic makeup. If we have two highly similar people breeding, which is next to impossible to have happen in a incestual relationship, then the result is a weakened DNA strand, because there is no unique DNA to “cover up” so to speak, the defects of each DNA. Even with unique individuals, if there’s defects in a certain area, then it becomes harder for the child to not possess the same problem.

So honestly, cloning is, in essence, unethical and bad for the species even from a secular standpoint, as it should, in theory and in practice, weaken the species as a whole.

Not talking master race theory or anything when I say weakening the species. I’m just saying that cloning would weaken us more than us carrying about with natural, non-incestual conception would.

I didn’t even TRY to read that shit.

I would clone my asian wife…

i’m glad SRK it is the way it is so I can get a good laugh out of you douchebags.

**HEY! everybody on here gotta agree with what each of us gotta say or else you’re not one of us!
I say whatever the fuck I want. you got a problem with it then i’ll let you know when my gives a fuck METER is full. **

gotta stop trying to have a real discussion on here since majority of the faggots on here expect you to agree with what they’re saying. LMAO gtfo.

P.S my post had everything all you faggots already said and a lot more. I edited cuz it’s pointless sharing what I gotta say to you 5 yr old. since majority of you wanna clone LeBron james, elvis, and all that other bullshit. awesome! no point in a real discussion.

I love it when a faggot hasn’t post shit but lurk and then try to be a smart ass.
tell you what bitch. you try posting something legit then i’ll own your ass with whatever you wanna say. whether it’s about this thread or you just wanna start shit in general then we can do that too.

your dumbass just like razor who trolls and tries to be a smart ass.

LMAO. nice emphasizes on “TRY”. you trying to hard faggot. seeing how you’d love to clone LeBron james and all those other douchebags.

Clone yourself and run MvC2 sets against ya self.

Lets clone old mvc2 gods and input the marvel gene which makes them play it like they did in their prime.

Id make some clones of myself so we can play cvs2

and fuck :coffee:

dr merrick is in charge?

TheWanderer:

A poster so bad, Blizzard killed the Diablo franchise, attempting to retcon him out of existence.

You guys need to watch the movie Cloud Atlas. It’s wicked and on topic with this :stuck_out_tongue:

Also I say Clone them but don’t rape them or take their kidneys. Just like, clone for adoption and shit. I wanna clone me a SF training partner. Can you clone me a Daigo/Poongko/Fchamp splice? TY
