crobra Posted August 13 Report Share Posted August 13 (CNN) -- Bill and Kathy immediately set out to have a baby when they married in 1993. But after years of enduring fertility drugs, artificial insemination, in-vitro fertilization -- with no success -- the couple are turning to a controversial alternative to get the baby they so desperately desire. What are your thoughts on this.Dont care!!Good for them!!Not everyone is meant to have a baby.There are plenty of unwanted babies, should we really be cloning babies when we can adopt.what is your take on the issue?

so54 Posted August 13 Report Share Posted August 13 cloning people is bad. good point with the unwanted babies thing. people should just adopt these babies. there are just some members of the gene pool that shouldn't be cloned and its scary just thinking about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phuturephunk Posted August 13 Report Share Posted August 13 . . .I myself am adopted, and I am of the firm belief they should have gone through that route . . . There are certain levels of nature that really shouldn't be fucked with too carelessly . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

streetraver Posted August 13 Report Share Posted August 13 Even though I agree with the adoption sentiment, I do support cloning as a science, it's just a natural stage in our scientific advancement, it'll help mankind discover things about themselves that might take centuries of natural evolution, if we're smart enough to do it, then why not? Science is neither good nor evil, it only depends on the ppl who use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is nothing wrong with you science to saves lives and cloning has the potential to do a lot of good, but it also has the a very large down side. I dont think cloning should be banned, but why not adopt. Plus, I kind of see this as nature's way of population control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
streetraver Posted August 13 Report Share Posted August 13 Adoption is the right thing to do but you know that there will be people out there with money who's going to want to use the cloning technology to create perfect babies and possibly even genetically engineer them a bit. Now that the cat's out of the bad, gattaca is not far from happening ( for those of you who's seen the movie ). How will "normal" kids compete with the super kids who are stronger, smarter and more resistant to disease? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Science is neither good nor evil, it only depends on the ppl who use it. This just brings into mind the old Science vs. Morality (Law). Morality will always be behind technology so you have to ask yourself is it right to clone a human being. Theres benefits and and consequences to this. Theologists say, "If God wanted them to have a baby he would have given them a baby." Naturalists say, "Cloning isnt natural, adopt a tree!." Scientists say, "Hell fuckit if God created us in his image then he gave us the intelligence and forsight to allow us to clone." Clubbers say, "Fuck cloning gimme another pill im coming down..."
