Your opinion on human cloning?

Governments do a lot of stuff the masses never know of and while it's illegal and anti-human to clone a person, it wouldn't be surprising if they'd done privately.



Animal cloning is well documented although that's something that should be outlawed, too. If they ever, somehow try to clone a dinosaur flawlessly with the pretense of "being under our control," who knows when it'd start acting irrationally and attacking/eating anyone.

It's all good 'till it ain't.

I think the advancements we've made because of cloning are pretty cool, we can grow nearly every organ out of stem cells now.

Maybe in the far future there will be more ethical concerns with it, but right now we don't have the know-how to "age up" clones like you see in Rick and Morty or other sci-fi. So nobody's gonna get away with replacing the president with a baby, for example. :D

All in on this shit. Clone, dissect, and pull my brain apart like string cheese. No issues at all! No joke!
Hell yeah, once I'm dead what do I care. Unless they can resurrect my consciousness into a badass ninja cyborg, in which case, go for it!

Fucking a ninja cyborg does sound like a good time....
Hmmmmmmmm...
You could even have a massive extendable robo-dong (with full human sensitivity), and then you wouldn't need to date only yourself. :lol:
Lmao that is genius. 10/10 move. Epik pro gamer moment.

I'd care because of the future generations, but people have gotten dumber than smarter.




Humanity seems it can't save itself.

There is still the premature ageing thing to consider, and ever the debate about nature and nurture. Above it was noted organs being grown from stem cells which is sort of doable but it is mostly still based around partially differentiated stuff from adult creatures where cloning tech could do better.

Would sooner see vat grown (seems reasonable -- artificial wombs have been done for sheep) humans and genetic modifications there.
Though I suppose best of both worlds is if you get a particularly good specimen from the world at random (and human genetics is a random beast) and a vat of clones to use as a base for a new strain of human even if you have to cull the failures is not so bad.

Well for organ harvesting, by all means.

But the issue to just "replace" you as a person doesn't work. You aren't the second clone, you're just you.
