If you created a clone of you wouldn't it just be like having an identical twin? They would have they're own personality and view on the world. Why are people against cloning?
Can you answer these questions to the satifaction of people who think cloning is wrong?
Is it a human?
If its a human does it have human rights?
If its a human with human rights does that make it a citizen of the nation it was "born" in?
If the above are all yes then do the sientists who gave it life have the right to treat it like a lab experiment?
If yes how far are they allowed to go with their studies?
Would it be murder to deliberately clone myself for the purpose of harvesting its healthy organs for my own use seeing as the likelyhood of rejection is minimal to non existant?
If the clone is considered human and its considered murder to kill it to purposely harvest its organs then what is the point of cloning a human in the first place? you'r just creating another mouth to feed and its not exactly hard to create a human these days.

If it was a clone that lacked a functioning soul
/facepalm
i'm looking through all these medical sites, and i can't seem to find this organ you're describing.
IĈm curious but in secular terms how would you describe a soul? By soul I mean the defining mental elements that make up who you are.

Since ethics and morality are subjective and thus rather arbitrary, the question shouldn't be whether or not cloning is unethical but rather why would we want cloning to be unethical.
Is it even an ethical or moral question to begin with? Given the estimated population, sex ratio (last estimated to be 106 male 100 female) and baring any sort of outbreak of biological or viral that targets one gender over the other the only reason to try human cloning to me seems to just be if it can be done or not. So really, is human cloning just a question of its practical or not? I mean in this day and age its not like there isnĈt any opportunity to propagate the species or situation that would call for cloning.
