a) We do not have too much population as it is. If the entire world lived at the population density of Hong Kong, we could all fit into the state of New Jersey. If we lived at the population density of New York City, we could all fit into Yugoslavia.
Besides, cloning does not increase population any faster than sex does. A baby still has to be fertilized and developed. b) If you really valued the individual, then you would respect the right of the individual to OWN his own genetic code--and to duplicate or alter it as he so wishes. To abolish cloning is saying that the individuals' genome belongs to the government--this devaluse people. c) How could cloning be "abused"? As opposed to the airplane? You think the Wright Brothers should have not invented teh airplane cause Sept 11th MIGHT have happeend down the road? "If we had a reliable way of labelling our toys good and bad, then it would be easy to regulate technology. But we don't. Anyone who concerns himself with big technology: to push it forward OR TO STOP IT-- is gambling in human lives." --Freeman Dyson When a government gambles in human lives, it loses more often than it wins. |
