With the leaps and bounds that science seems to be making it wouldn’t surprise me if cloning humans isn’t too far down the road. If all it takes is a little DNA what’s stopping you from bringing back you great-great-great grandfather?

I’ve lost a few ppl and precious pets in my life and yet I’ve grieved for them, wait to be reunited but I’ve moved on. I wouldn’t want to start bringing them back. To me even if it looked, acted and seemed like the original one…it would still be a copy. I think it comes very close to playing God.

If you had the chance to bring back a loved one, to have them cloned, would you? Would you feel like they are a copy or accept them as the original? Would you want to bring back anyone famous? Do you think cloning ppl and/or pets is a good idea?

I probably wouldn't. I don't know anyone who would want that. At least not yet. Though it would be nice to have my grandmother back. I was very close to her. So I can see the temptation. But I just don't think it would be wise.

To me there is only one original person and everything that comes after is just a cheap copy.

I think cloning just reproduces the genetic make-up of a person or an animal. The clone would have the same appearance as the deceased but it would not be the same person because the clone would have different life experiences and would grow up in a different environment. You could never reproduce the exact conditions your grandparents grew up in so the replicas would becomes different from the way they grew up.

One thing learned from Dolly, the cloned sheep, is that her life was shorter than that of the original sheep from which she was cloned. Dolly aged prematurely because she was born with some of the older sheep's deficiencies which come with age. If humans are cloned they may not be able to survive for long as they would not be the same at birth as a natural newborn child.

Cloning people is a little creepy, pets maybe. I do think the use of cloning could be a great advantage in treatment of some diseases. Just suppose you had an inoperable disease. But if you could replace your organ by what would amount to an exact duplicate of your organ without the disease or the problems of rejection of a new organ, what not?

Like you said, cloning would just make a copy of the person or pet. I wouldn't want that, and as much as I love my mom and dad, they have been dead a long time. I have grieved for them and moved on. How could I invest the emotions I had for my parents into only carbon copies?

 
7. myLot reputation of 99/100. Mechanicone (559)   6 months ago

No, no, no. I believe cloning is trying to change what God created and i don't agree with it. I look at it like, lets not mess up what he created and try to improve upon it. Just my opinion.

I think it's a horrible idea! It's a real pandora's box.. and frankenstein waiting to happen.. I would know a cloned loved one wouldn't be the loved one, but it would sure be confusing and actually quite heartbreaking! I think what could actually happen is that clones would end up being made for spare parts.. and how ghoulish is that?! To say noting of that oft repeated word "ethics" which somehow is the new word for 'right and wrong' which is now a politically incorrect phrase!lol

We are not God and do not agree with cloning humans or pets. What worries me is that they are cloning animals to put more meat on the market and while it is a great idea in a starving world we just do not know what will happen down the road after eating cloned meat for thirty or fifty years!

Hi twoey,
If I could anyone back to life it would be my dad, I miss him so very much and feel at times there are things that I want to tell him or need advice. I would do anything to see him again but cloning.. I would feel that it wasn't really my dad sitting there talking to me. Even if they implanted memories into him and remembered it still wouldn't be real.
It would be kind of neat to see but when it and if it became personal, I don't think I would enjoy it all that much
