About cloning of human beings...
I read some time ago that there is a gene that can be blocked and a human embryo will be developed without a central nerves system. So in future should be possible to take from you a cell and to make you a clone without nerves system and to take organs for example to transplant them to your sick or injured body.
What do you think about that?

Not a good idea.
A. The survivability of such a piece of meat without a brain is low.( We can't even keep a person on ventilator longer then a few weeks.)
B. The possibility of all kind of unexpected things happening is very high.
In the early eighties people were talking about the human brain having 9 billion neurons. So when we have a computer that can access 9 Giga Byte we will be able to copy the human cognitive function.
Today we have Terra Byte storage devices and we can't even stop them from crashing let alone learn and think.
To believe that we can safely experiment with such complex mechanisms as human DNA is folly.
