i noticed that this topic has not been talked about on the forums before...

so... currently cloning of embryos for research or reproductive purposes is currently illegal... there is a growing debate about whether or not we should clone humans(if even possible)..

some of the more common arguments against is include: cloning is like playing god or stepping into gods domain, or cloning is unnatural and against human dignity....

proponents of cloning give arguments like: we are masters of our own destiny, and that god would has given us these abilities for a reason, and then we are not overstepping our bounds because nature is not independent of human influence...

i think the debate on cloning is focuses too much on personal and reproductive issues and not enough on broader social gains but i do not yet have a strong opinion on whether or not we should clone human beings....

so whats your opinion on human cloning...

for it?

against it?

or you think we should wait before coming to a decision..
