Cloning - Is it okay?

[DestroyerOfBlocks]

could we just clone the individual parts though?

more importantly can we clone Riddler to see what happens

[hodototman]

...why?
spend the time researching how to clone fossil fuels. The last thing we need in this world is even more people. The world is already overpopulated as it is

or you could just, you know, find something else flammable to use as fuel

Or use the environmental friendly fuels that we already have more often instead of burning stuff.

[Clone v.117]

Clones are awesome.
The world needs more clones.
Clones.
Yes.

If human cloning becomes standard
A country named Opium will originate between Mexico and the United States
The drug lord is 142 at the time of his writing.
Mexico will become an even bigger stuffhole.
A corrupt politician will ensure that the US does not take action against this country.

I am from the future.

anything but humans is okay

why

OP is silly.

As has been pointed out, he is just describing the plot of The Island which he probably heard / saw somewhere.

Human cloning is not a reality of the future. If the existence of such technology existed, which it doesn't to the standard you are describing, it would not automatically overrule the ethical issues that would completely strangle any possibility of it becoming a reality.

There will never be a time in a civilized society where killing people for organs, clone or otherwise, becomes an acceptable norm.

As has also been mentioned, the ability to grow replacement body parts is a technology that real focus is being put on and progress is being made. Already a trachea was grown using stem cells to complete a surgery that saved a cancer patient in 2011. This side of research will continue to dominate. Fantasy sci-fi clones will not.

why

would you want more than one you walking around? i sure wouldn't.

[Night Fox]

I honestly don't see any issue with cloning in general. I can't imagine what is supposedly immoral about it. it would be just as much "playing god" as having a natural birth is

in fact, I'd really like having a clone. maybe some people don't think so, but personally, I'd really like to have a me that I could have love with. just think; he has all of the same special interestes as you, and unless you're really hard on yourself, he'd be attractive enough, too

This.

Fantasies shouldn't be put into though when real solutions are being worked toward.

Situation: you are 77 and about to die, you. clone is you younger, so you and your clone switches brainand bam, you're young again.
