Let's talk about cloning

The most common answer in humankind: "Becuase you can."

 

Dang LaSalle, you of all people should be good with cloning..

 

I am ok with cloning I just don't think they should be doing it just to do it. Cloning plants (which is what I assuming you meant) cloning body parts, that all sounds like a good idea to me. But cloning all these animals just so you can stick em in a cage in a lab or so you can use them as production lines. That just seems inhumane to me.

 

As the technology improved would the price stay at $100K or more or would it drop like electronics. The first plasma TVIpever saw was about 15 years ago and cost $12,000. Now plasma is obsolete and you can get a TV the same size with a better picture for $500-$700

 

I too am against cloning people,etc. I took a bio-medical ethics class in college and it muddied the water for me philosophically. Lots of reasons to clone....or not

 

Cloning is the most extreme form of inbreeding.

 

I think the application has merits when it comes to reproducing organs and body parts. Just think, instead of waiting for donors we can just grow a liver, heart, lung, etc. for transplants.
