Cloning Said to Yield Human Embryos

The work represents a step toward the promise of creating personalized embryonic stem cells that could be used for medical treatments. Although the embryos grew only to a very early stage, the work could also theoretically be seen as a step toward creating babies that are genetic copies of other people.

Should we be able to clone people or is this ethically wrong?

I think cloning is ethically wrong. However, I think cloning body parts such as hearts or lungs isn't because it will better our health and the ability to save someones life. I think cloning stem cells used for medical treatment is ok, but cloning humans as copies of adults isn't the right thing to do.

I think we should not clone whole humans at this current time. If we can clone organs for people as replacements that is ethical. However I think we should look into human cloning more before we say yes or no.

I don't really care. Who cares? I don't! Big deal, it's never going to become legal anyways, so why should I worry about it? I donno, you tell me.

i think cloning is ok. It is ok because if there is someone in the world smart they can keep living and helping the world. If we dont clone people then people that will do great thing s will not be able to more great things.
