Depends what is being cloned; anything edible would be good, like chickens, so we'd have more food. Or, some humans, if they were really that important to the world.

In general I believe it to be inhumane and unnatural. That is unless it is being done for some greater purpose such as cloning certain vital organs for transplantation. Otherwise, cloning persons and animals is just very taboo and it would definately take me some time to get used to. I'm sure a cloned person would have a wide variety or personality problems as well as a feeling of being unloved.

Could I make the clones of me all get jobs and make me loads of money?

i believe that it is right if they use the clone for a good cause like stem cells to help parralysis but if it is just to see what hapens then i think it is wrong
-
its a step toward homogenization.

Cloning animals for food is questionable because there is no proof that they are safe to eat without serous side effects. It is not natural,and I am surprised that science has progressed that far.The question is the cloning of humans,and if a soul enters the body at birth,will human clones have souls!

no-one has the right to play god !!

I am all for the cloning of any and everything. I would love to oversee a cloning process
-
I'm against it...and so am I...and so am I...;-D...
-
as long as they doesnt get out of control where they want to clon everything. i think that they should just stick with plants and animals. i dont think that they should do people
-
Yes, we should to expand the human race.

Not fond of it. Cloning is an imperfect science as of yet, though the flaws are rather complex. Suffice it to say that cloning anything you want to have live a long, healthy life is just flat out not happening. Then there is the issue of over-population. While I have no qualms based on souls or playing God, I DO have reservations based on clogging the planet with genetic xeroxes of ourselves. Hell, I am not much on NATURAL reproduction. As for the sci-fi creation of clones for transplants, that is rather inefficient, rather like choppping down a redwood tree to make a single toothpick. Then again, we can't really force-grow a clone yet anyways so that is moot for the moment. When it DOES become relevant, I hope that we at least try to reclaim the wasted parts. Anyone up for burgers?

No problem with it but would disagree with cloning humans. We are different than animals on so many levels. I really wouldn't want to see another "me" walking around although if there was I'm sure he'd be a pretty cool guy. I think we as humans need our individualism and would feel inferior or insignificant knowing we could easily be reproduced. Stick with animals but honestly we could just breed them cheaper (I'd expect - you just bring two of them together and let them go at it).

I'd clone all of our 7 cats and then just make more and more and more wonderful little furries in shades of orange and brown, some with stripes, some the shape of a bollock but still lovely, some with the left eye a tad off centre but still the best tweeter beater in town, one who is a silly as arse and is metrosexual because we thought he was a girl and named him Bumette and of course lots of God Mogs to supervise them - just like the little female feline under the desk, who beats the crap out of all the other 6 (I tell you, that cat ain't scared of noting). Onto what not to clone - erm, relgious fanatics are out I'm afraid and anybody who was in the Baby Bible Basher doc the other night, no Gordon Brown ah and no cloning of anybody that works for the council in the offices or Al-Fayed (entertain I know but 10 years he's been going on about Diana). Oh and nobody who lives on the Isle of Sheppey (where natural family cloning has been tried - they really do all look the same but are clearly 'not right'.

There doesn't seem to be a huge 'point' to cloning at this stage (cloning of whole people, that is), and the process involved tend to result in clones that don't live very well anyway... Aside from my uncertainty on it's use and effectiveness, I don't really care if people do it... *shrugs*

Cloning things are O.K., but cloning people is a no no.

I have no categorical objection to the use of cloning technology. I do, however, believe that just like every other technology, the moral and ethical standing of cloning rests entirely upon how it is used. If a human heart can be grown in a lab by cloning from stem cells and used to save a life, I'd consider that a good use of the technology. If it gets to the point of a "Life Factory" (which, frankly, I don't think it will at any time in the foreseeable future), then I would consider that *Use* of the powerful tool that is cloning ethically questionable.

So long as there isn't some guy named Palpatine in charge of the operation I'm all for it
