: It take two too make a child, a family to raise one. Your cloned child will have to live their lives with different sets of conditions that will not at all resemble yours. Their reality will definetly be distinctly their own. The child could look like you, but in the end, they won't be you. Is it vanity? : Ethical? Personally, I think it's nuts. I have two daughters from natural processes. I accept them the way they came out of my wife's womb, flaws and all. : Tön Yes, that is what I am saying, the new person would be unique in experiance, and if it is vanity, then it is natures vanity to want to reproduce, twins comes closest to this as genetic exact copies, of course, if cloned, I would have to raise the child and be the parent. To me it would be an issue of mutiplying what nature does itself, and is in my opinion, morally ethical in itself, but the uses humankind puts to this ability could be immoral or unethical. |
