    I dont think we should create entire human clones. Maybe body parts to help save someones life. There are too many people in this world to justify adding more through cloning.

    Who says it's unethical? It happens naturally -- identical twins. The only unethical part would be the failures -- cloning Dolly the sheep took more than 200 tries; it would be unethical to have 200 trials in which human fetuses were deformed! But suppose human cloning could be done 100% successfully -- I'd say it wouldn't be unethical, and should be permitted.

    No way!! I am a firm believer that God gave us all things and cloning one of his most complicated creations is not right. Even the most advanced scientists can't figure out the dynamics of the human brain yet. I just don't think it is something that should be messed with. I even think the cloning of animals is not a good idea. These scientists are trying to put themselves in God's shoes and play the roll. It is not right. They are messing with forces that should not be messed with. We are all God's children, His gifts to the world. We need to leave that in His hands.

    i shud think so because the clones are created by us and therefore will not feel deprived of freedom to know that they were given the gratitude of living 4 wateva reason they were created

    I think it could get out of hand but I would think that in the case of a couple who can't have a child the normal way, yes. But things could really get out of control like as with abortion.

    Not until they find a way to do it without killing a bunch of embryos (ie. tiny human beings)

    If it is determined to be unethical, then it should not be permitted.
