Ask Me Help Desk - Anyone for cloning?

Well, I wasn't suggesting that.. however, I suppose its possible.

Wow... imagine it like I, Robot... a clone for every home

Yea and while they're at it why not start raising the dead as well because we can make clones of them using their DNA so the world becomes over populated AND WE ALL DIE

Im not saying it's a good idea.. Im just saying whether it is or not no longer matters. The fact is that cloning humans will soon be a reality.

Cloning the dead... there's another idea. Why not clone some of the greatest minds in history?

Well I won't be comfortable with clones of me running around, besides I'm not dead yet, think of the shock einstein would get he would die straight away, besides I'm not saying cloning won't happen I'm trying to discuss how far it will be taken

For those of you that say making life in a test tube is wrong, I know a few IVF kids that would like to kick you in the knee caps.

And a cloned army has too many bad points versus having a robot army. Very few question the morality of building unmanned drones and since we are much closer to building robots why not do that. No moral questions, no one saying we are playing god and just as effective if not more so.

Clones have their advantages against robots especially humanoid ones

Test tube baby... my ex bf is one.... I love him to death I do, so I guess I should maybe back off like a lot.

Oh it will likely be the end of Life as we know it. The first round is just where it actually happens. Then others will begin to learn the technique and it will be used for the greater good... but it won't take long before the generations pass and the knowledge will become more and more accessible.

Then it will go black market. Governments, militias, and other organizations will be trying to get their hands on the technology... building armys of their own...

I don't see it ever stopping...

I do

I don't know whether to listen to the logic or the conspiracy talk.... I see it going both ways.

Listen to both then make a conclusion

The two sides are in a vicious debate in my head....
But I conclude, cloning people for war is bad.... who wants evil clones coming after us?
But then again it could be for the better of humanity.
Frnakly, I see it as, no, no cloning for war... because then what would stop the enemy from getting ahold of this technology and maybe even improving it? Let's just leave it at, people on each side but we can try improving our weapons or something.

Why would the clones be evil, if anything they would be impartial, as as for 'the enemy' getting ahold of the technology it would only be a matter of time anyway, and its not like if you obtain a clone you instantly know how its done, that's why scientists and experimenting to learn more about it, only once you have created will you know how its done,

And if cloning for war prevents original genuine people who have not been GMed from dying I fail to see how it is bad

I know.
And as for the evil part, we wouldn't know how to expect them to be, so we should assume the worst.
As for the emeny getting their hands on the technology... who knows so once again expect the worst.
Not knowing is what has driven many to fear what is new and recently made. I won't lie, because I don't now how a clone would work or what would happen in the end, I preffer it not happening at all.

Actually as I put in a previous post army clones will be genetically modified to be less independent and to follow orders so it depends on who orders them about

And once again, if it gets into the wrong hands?

Could G.W. Bush be a failed attempt at an evil clone of George Sr. The scientist doing the cloning accidentally grabbed the wrong syringe which contained monkey DNA. George Sr. and Barbara Bush suspected there was something wrong when as a child, he would swing from the drapes and throw poop at them. They quickly tried to clone another evil George but instead they got a Jeb. They realized Jeb was not evil enough nor would he do as he was told. After all, he came home from a three day drunk in Juarez, married.
Time had run out. They went with the first evil clone, monkey boy. As we can see from this debacle, cloning is still very unreliable!

LMAO mag!

LMA0!!!!
I think that's the main reason cloning should be un-alowed.:D

Which it inevitably(not entirely sure on the spelling) will,just like nuclear

So let's just let it be.

Wait.. which one was I? The logical one or the conspiracy theorist? Lol

At any rate, how did we come to the conclusion that an exact clone of yourself would be evil?

And is the majority okay with creating clones so that they are lesser beings as we? And then even using them for things that we would not want to use ourselves on?

Do we really believe that they would be soulless?

I think the one opposing me... I think I was both, iwouldnt mind being logical though logical

ivf kids are from a sperm and a egg - a completely different matter altogether.
The child is not identical nor has the same genetic material as either parent.

I agree that it is a very emotionally and debatable subject and one that isnt simple to address.

I certainly don't agree with it for the purpose of creating armies.

Agree in that extending life could be considered "playing God," but

Treating a heart attack or cancer or a trauma victim is using the abilities that God gave us to serve others.

If you did not mean the latter - sorry:o

So is the ability to clone

Just because we may have the ability to do it does not mean it would be ethhical as so many have pointed out or like jvibe 101 asks.

Perhaps cloning of organs for transplant, I might consider.

Grace and Peace

Honestly, if there was a clone of myself, I would want to be the one to control it.

If there was a clone of me I would make him test the milk to see if it went sour. Oh yea... and mow the yard, and wash the car, and clean the basement. He would also be required to sit around listening to the ole lady talk and talk and talk and talk while I'm out at Hooters shooting Jeager Miester bombs.

You could get him to proof read all your AMHD posts too!! :)

Hey, I was eating a bowl of CoCo Crispies while writing that. Didn't you get my point mate? What's wrong widit?

No I got it. I get all your points. Sometimes it takes me a good nights sleep and a smoke of the hoochie but I eventually get them..

I was just coming up with more tasks for the Mag clone. What would he be called?

MAG-A-TRON, The newly revived version of the classic, totally awesome, super love machine, MAGPROB.

Ill take 3. 1 for each wife. I have to to treat them each equally.

What's the use? You need to take care of all three of them at once... all by yourself. It's not fair to put that kind of responsibility on a simple clone. Things can go wrong. Bad things.

L0L!
I'm not sure who was logic and who was conspiracy, but either way both sides were very wise. Magprob, you've got the right idea making your clone do your chores and busying your wife while you're at Hooters. Frankly, I'd like to hve a magprob of my own:p haha!

It would wear you out girl. Get a nice church boy believe me. Save yourself the pain.

Haha! I stopped seeing nice church boys..... I turned them all bad:D

Then you can't have a clone. I know you would mistreat it.

:(awwe......
