Cloning

I watching documentary tv last night about cloning. It was very interesting, but quite scary about future if cloning thing get more.

 

What do you think about it?

Unpopular - sure, unappetizing -possibly, but somebody please tell me, what the hell is sooooo scary about human cloning.

 

Is it the human organ farms complete with rows encepholatic clones hooked up to matrix-like life-support baths , or the legions of hyper-obedient super-soldiers that has everybody's imagination up in arms?

 

 

maybe I just answered my own question.

I don't know very much about it, but I understand there are two problems.

 

First, the completely incorrect perception of it that barok noted. Actually, if cloning succeeds, you have a human individual who shares the same genes as somebody else, but is otherwise an individual and who may even look different.

 

The second problem is that it is a very undeveloped art and science, and fails more often than it works. Once somebody publishes something on it, anybody with access to some equipment might start having a go. There are some desperate people out there. The consequences may be lots of botched attempts leading to lots of deaths. And it will be experimentation on living humans rather than on dumb animals.

 

There's probably more to it than that though.

Can't be very secret if you know about it and post on a forum

Aren't there some clones out there already?
