is human cloning possible? Options

[dahoonpride]

if anyone's interested in debating about this, i'll argue right now that i think it's impossible. this might also lead to arguing about whether creation or evolution is right....but i firmly believe it's impossible.

i also believe that this world could not have evolved itself from nothing. too many contradictions and impossible bridges to cross. especially the flagellum theory. and the fact that what DID the world evolve from then? what was the beginning? how could we have evolved from NOTHING?? neways...my point is since we were created by a God (i'm not saying what kind of god)....that God created all human beings with a sould.

no matter how much science is advanced, man cannot clone or make a new soul.
therefore even if they tried cloning, either the body will be a vegetable, or clearly disfunctional and screwed up in numerous ways. it will never be a normal living thinking loving human being.

we've been talking about this in biology...

cloning humans isn't bioethical, therefore they aren't allowed to do it. i dont think that we should clone humans. i think that it's scary.

if any of you have read The Anthem by Ayn Rand...well i think that our society will turn into the one in that book due to cloning and other insane new recent discoveries.

this also reminds me of the movie The Island...where people would pay millions of dollars to have themselves cloned. Their clones wuold be stored in a preserve, and if the real person had a heart attack or anything like that, they would transplant a specific body part from their clone so that they can live on. Basically, people thought that this would help them become immortal. IMO, it's completely unneccessary and I think that mother nature shouldn't be toyed around with. When you're supposed to die, you die. that's it.

i completely agree. i could give a couple dozen seroius reasons why we shouldn't clone humans, but not to get off track, the issue still remains on whether we can do it in the first place. from the previous argument(s) it basically comes down to whether a human being has a soul or not. cuz i would hope to believe that everyone knows that humans can't create another soul.
