What is wrong with cloning?
From a pure scientific stand point, absolutely nothing.
From a moral aspect, somethings.
From a religious view, everything.
People claim we are altering what God intends for us. This translates into: we are altering fate, else if it were not fate, then we would not be changing everything. There are things to be said about this. Those who do not suffer from any maladies that might be solved by genetic research are most likely to be against it. They got dealt a fair hand, screw the rest. They do not say this, but all their actions clearly point at this. Give them a disability and see how many and how fast they turn coat. Those who do suffer want and sometimes need this research just to stay alive.
Are we changing what God intends. Probably, but so what? How does this differ from the past 1000 years of medicinal research? We have cured, prevented, innoculated, and even destroyed and created diseases. No one argues that CPR is tampering with the cycle of life. Those who argue this point of interferring with God's plans are idiots, plain and simple. Most everyone in the US has been so heavily medically modified that I doubt their God would even recognize them.
Next, the blood on our hands. Fact is, they remove the forerunner of the brain during the fetal stages (I will spare the Latin). This means the "thing" is a fully functional brain-dead entity (like most people I know). So, does hacking it up into pieces constitute as murder? Who knows? Do you remember Bravo? The United States deliberately used the people of the Marshall Islands to test the effects of nuclear radiation and fallout. Those islands are basically uninhabitable, radioactive sand, radioactive water, radioactive coconuts, and so on. We destroyed a whole country which was our protectorate and no one even celebrated. So, if hacking up braindead bodies to save others is the worst thing the human race has done, then it will be a surprise for me.
Respectfully,
Demosthenes
