You misunderstood everything i said, and are dwelling over the word selfish. It's only as big of an insult as you make it out to be, and i was offended by your weighing of human lives so i said you were selfish and i still think you are being so...even moreso now with your continual denying of it...ugh. You think you are taking the moral high ground it seems like, and you aren't....refer to my other post about the implications of what you said that you seem to completely ignoring.
thank you for telling me i don't have to agree with what you think, that is very courteous....contrary to your views on cloning.
I don' t think i'd feel weird if i found out one of my firends was a clone, i wouldn't care, and neither should you. I mean, even if i did feel uncomfortable, you don't see me going around saying they shouldn't be allowed to live for something that "I" feel. Look how many times you used some form of the word "I" in that paragraph....a lot. Cause that's your only reason, it's all about you. I don't see hwo you can say you aren't being selfish. And, as to the other argument you edited out, you misinterpreted everything yet again...i never said you were selfish, the point was that your views on cloning were selfish. Get it? Not you, though you might be cuase i don't know you, but your views are selfish.
I don't know what exactly is going to happen with cloning? ok... sure. I know i don't. Even if they were to die, i'm not the one who's not giving them a chance to live.

i jus dont to see more children on the streets or in adoption because their parents didnt want them. if some one couldnt have a baby why dont they jus adopt one and help some one's life? thats not selfish at all.
Yes it is, it's always going to be selfish when you decide who lives or dies based on what YOU want. YOU don't want to see more children on the streets and YOU don't want more of them in adoption because their parents didn't want them, YOU want everyone to adopt instead of create. It's all you, i don't know how you can deny this being selfish at all. You just keep restating yourself (no, that's not because that's all you have to say, i've heard that before, yes).
Again, why not? why don't they just clone if they want a baby? i mean, not everyone wants to have raise a baby that is not their own (geneticlaly related, or whatever). The moment you restrict options like this for the reasons that you want, is the moment you become selfish. Sure, it looks all ethical and not selfish, but it's not. You are deciding who lives and who doesn't. Shame on you, don't just blindly follow the guise of morality, it's not always "right" when we start weighing advantages and disadvantages.
