Human Cloning: Are You For Or Against It?

I am split in this arguement. Part of me is 'For' human cloning, because of the advantages it could have for the human race. Cloning parts of the body, could result in the curing of some diseases, if the organ was able to be treated extraneously to the body, then the 'cured' cells re-implanted. However, I do not think it is ethical to clone a human. There are far too many ways it could be used for all the wrong purposes (I'm imaging some kind of 'super army', but I have watched a few too many sci-fi flicks). Does anyone have any knowledge of how human cloning would work? I'm by no means an authority on the subject, I just find it interesting. Do you think it is a good thing, or a bad one? Are you undecided, like me? I'm interested to hear other's opinions.

I don't think it's a very good idea. It's never a good thing to mess with naturea, and i also think it could cause loads of problems! Being unique is what makes us human, imagine if you had a completely identical twin, someone how looked totally like you, but also thought the same stuff as you. Maybe it'd be cool for a bit but to be honest i think it'd be my worst nightmare! What if they did something and blamed in on you? What if they stole you partner? I'd rather stay unique and stay away from messing with mother nature!

I don't think having two of me around would be a very good idea AT ALL! Thank you for your response :)

I think it's very unethical and I am against it. I just think that messing with nature like that will cause more problems than good. I hope I'm not around when all those Sci-Fi flicks become reality...it's just NOT something that I want to see!!!
