    I watched a movie the other day which used the term "artificial incest" as in a family member dies and you give birth to their copy. Well in this movie children known to be clones were bullied at school, most regular people would have nothing to do with them. Parents would not let their children play with them and one of the "regular" kids even said that "copies" had a bad smell even though his best friend was unknownly a clone. I think this is along the lines of the attitudes some people would have towards these people if this ever came about. There would be issues with rights and public attitude and also identity problems.. especially if you knew you literally were someone else.. it would mess you up at least somewhat.

    Unless we're just... you know, popping clones all full grown out of a pod.. cause that's something different.. and more creepy imo.

    I would accept the human cloning as long as they only clone cells/organs, because our own body is made of cloned cells so I don't care if they clone cells or organs to help people or to avoid transplants rejection.

    But cloning humans like cloning mices, I'm totally against that.

    I actually support the idea to full extent, I don't find it bizarre.. I mean logically speaking we are just creating a new life but only that its genetic configuration is gonna be cloned, the clone will be its own individual as it grows up, I have no idea if genetic memories exists but instincts do however its the environment that shapes the individuality of an organism.. you clone Einstein doesn't mean your gonna create the Einstein we had.

    There is nothing wrong with saving lives via growing organs with cells, but I believe there should be a fine line, a "boundary" as to what cloning must and must not do. Cloning a whole person will increase the population and never decrease it, as it is humans are so overpopulated. I believe that the more overpopulated we are the better chance of having another world war just to contain the population. So I do not agree on cloning a whole person just to live longer...

    I really don't think that human cloning should be legal. I actually wrote a research paper arguing against it. Cloning is just too much power to allow for humans and I could easily see it corrupt our society.
