    Human Cloning, Yes or No?
    I'm about to have a debate in one of my classes at school and the subject I got was about human cloning. Now I was raised in a church and was taught that God is the only one that can give or take life away. But, I know that not everyone believes in the Bible, so I want to know where people stand. Should we be allowed to play "God" and clone ourselves, or should we do what I think is morally right?

    It sounds awesome, it would solve all the childe custody cases (as each parent could have their own copy.)
    And you could "be your own best friend" but on the negative you are more likely to "be your own worst enemy." And besides as we have lerned from Tv and movies, they will eventually turn on us and take over the world.

    I think you're missing the point of cloning, matt.

    Keep in mind that playing God isn't a new thing to humans.

    Well, most arguments against cloning stem from religion, and unless you believe in a particular religion, you are going to be hard pressed to value the "evidence" presented against cloning. You have stated that your religious beliefs conflict with cloning, so I doubt you'll hear any new anti-clone arguments on that topic.

    However, from a scientific standpoint, one argument I've have heard against cloning pertains to natural selection. By cloning and choosing what traits are reproduced over and over in the human race, natural selection falls to the wayside. Little known genetic defects could be perpetuated, opening the door for all kinds of negative possibilities.
