Either my phone didn't post my comment...or I got deleted. BAAAALLS. I even had something fairly insightful to day.
Just curious, but did you get a comment from me, OP? I wrote one, but don't know if you received it.
Either way, here is a second helping of Anthian goodness.
Alright. I am going to school to become a genetic engineer, and even I don't think we should legalize cloning. Correct me if I am wrong, but clones are generally unhealthier than the original version for some reason.
I think having the perfect "designer child" is a waste of scientific brainpower and funding. Genetic engineering is very promising when it comes to correcting genetic defects in children, where their quality of life would have been severely compromised if the defect was expressed. But having the option to manipulate your child's physicality for shits and giggles is ridiculous. You have to be a vain SOB to do that.
Anyways! I think legalizing human clones is more trouble than it is worth. Imagine the opportunities for kidnappings, cheating, black-market and fake research centers offering to clone children (but failing and resulting in horrible defects), the class friction (cloning will obviously be costly), and jeeze. I should go do my A&P homework.
Is it normal that I think we should legalize Cloning?
