the debate over cloning is just like that of abortion and nuclear weapons and all the other big issues that politicians scratch their heads over. if used in a moral way, sure, many people won't have a problem with it. however, i don't think society is THAT innocent and "nice". call me a pessimist if you will, but humans in general have become so damn corrupted, we'll take advantage of anything we can get our hands on.
people have such a thirst for knowledge and it creates barriers that are infinite... meaning, i guess... there is no limit. we'll never stop wanting to push our knowledge, technology, science etc to its limit. yes, i think cloning is immoral. yes, i think those that clone humans are trying to play God. yes, i'm totally against it... but it seems like it can't be stopped. today, it seems inevitable. don't get me wrong. having extra organs so that people can live is great. the amount of time and effort put into this... to get us where we are in knowledge today is unbelievable; and yes, it's something to be proud of. but not something to be arrogant about. there were claims that a human baby had been cloned. they called her "eve". now please tell me that's not mocking God.
