I've never had a problem with it. Just because you clone Hitler, doesn't mean the clone is going to start a world war. |

Depends on what the purpose is. |

I think consent would be a huge factor when it comes to this. I can imagine that some people would prefer to not be cloned, especially by certain people. Imagine if a stalker cloned the person they were stalking after getting some of their DNA so that they could hold that clone captive in their home or something crazy like that.

I thought of another moral and ethical issue with it. Some might want to create clones for organ harvesting. That would be a terrible abuse of the technology. I imagine there are many twisted things that could be done to clones actually. Being created just to replace lost loved ones would be questionable too. But then if a couple is having fertility problems it might be reasonable to have oneself cloned. Or maybe a great disaster befalls the planet and we need them to repopulate the Earth faster. |

I think organ harvesting would be fine if the clones were brain dead but I think we'd have an easier time just cloning organs than doing that. I have no problem with human cloning in general but the question would definitely be why, there's not much benefit. Cloning people who have died in order to replace them is another story of course, I think that's a bit much(and stupid anyway since you can't clone memories...well, yet) I guess if we were ever in a time of need it might be beneficial to clone an army of our greatest warriors. An army of 10,000 Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson's would eliminate any threat. Or maybe if there was ever a scientist with a uniquely brilliant brain you could clone a few of them to try tackle an issue, like if we discovered that in 100 years a planet would collide with Earth and kill us all 6 versions of some uber genius focusing on different areas of science could save our a***. |

Cloning a genius probably wouldn't lead to another genius. I think I remember reading somewhere a long time ago that the way we clone at the moment doesn't lead to them looking alike either. |

Well like I said if they had a uniquely brilliant brain that would guarantee they'd be useful, like if they had an eidetic memory. Stuff like that would surely carry over, otherwise it's not so much cloning as it is sex-less reproduction? |

It wouldn't guarantee anything. They could mix with the wrong crowd and be a drug dealer. Or they just might not have any work ethic. As for people with eidetic memories, that's not so useful when you need to think of new ideas. It also doesn't mean you will understand concepts. All you're doing is basically parroting. |

This. If it's for organ harvesting, then yeah, that's immoral. If it's just another means of reproduction, then I'm OK with it. |

I believe scientist are currently trying to clone/grown just the organ(s) needed and not the entire person/animal. When done in that fashion, it isn't so bad. If an entire person is cloned then deprived of their organs (AKA killed) then that's highly immoral. |

Well if it was the situation I described I doubt they'd just create these people and leave them to their own devices it'd be a focused group with clear intentions and they'd be raised four our betterment/salvation. But they would be useful for getting someone to learn a huge amount of information in a short amount of time, so it would be a good option for this scenario if we couldn't implant memories by that point, which I think probably would be far off. |
