Cloning [+ favourites]

The title speaks for itself people, what do you think? good? bad? I'm particularly interested in the Stem Cell research side of things.

Cloning could be useful mainly for stem cell research.
Regrowing neurones and/or body bits for the old and senile/handicapped is very appealing.

no not whole people
fake people
who needs thouse
people were meant to be raised in a family by blood parents and to be created the natural way
so no
cloning people - bad

Whole people? I see nothing wrong, but then, nothing good will come out of it either.

Agreed about the stupid people, but what if you could eliminate that persons born-stupidity?

Think of the dumbest person you know, and then give 'em a brain like the Wizard of Oz.

Humans strive to constantly better themselves... could cloning simply be the next step?

well how would we clone people ? clone exact compies of already existing people ? or collect sperm and eggs and make new people ?
the first one is a very bad idea
the second one is pretty bad too, how would that help us better ourselves ?

Cloning full people is fairly pointless IMO. That is, unless you're really into population control. Or if you want some fresh children which can be molded into fanatics for your cause
To "better" ourselves, methinks genetic modification is the way to go, which admittedly is closely tied to cloning.

I got it, don't worry DT!

When a fresh batch of children made for a specific cause is mentioned, it makes me think of that movie Village of the damned. All of the children taking over and killing all of the simpletons left.
