Cloning Ethics

Hello...CLONING IS SCREWED...Period. It can also be called murder-If you clone yourself to get an organ from your clone, that clone is a living organism, and is able to think and feel as you do...So because you want its heart, you chop it out and what happen's to your clone? Does it get a new heart? Nope, it dies. That's called murder. Another thing: So we clone all these people. As it is the earth's population is multiplying rapidly. Add in some clones, and the fact that science is going to be able to lengthen our life much further than it is now, and sorry to be the voice of doom, but we're going to run out of food, water, and space to live. Hmmm...Cloning can actually be good, you say...Well, it might be for a while, but in time, we should be able to screw that up too.

This assumes that the clone has a fully operational working brain

Ever heard of Headless Clone Ranches?
